Just Do It

~ 76 weeks to my 'Tees' (30th) ~ 

Woke up early on Sunday morning

for my first ever run

(Only few hours since my last shift had ended)

To watch the rising sun

I was a tad bit nervous

for I was barely prepared

I was afraid that I might give up

Fall, without a soul to care

The whistle was blown

and the hustle began 

Some strolled, some jogged

Some others sprinted and ran

I stopped intermittently 

for a water break or two

Other runners kept motivating 

"You can do it - #Jiayou"

After a while, I stopped

keeping track of the kilometre

Running felt easy, almost dreamy

with soulful music plugged to the ear

The high of doing something

which you thought you couldn't

Finishing something a voice 

once said you wouldn't

Even though it was a not

a full length 42km marathon

To cross the finish line

did make feel like one had won

For the hardest battles

are not against folks outside

But with the nagging noise

that pulls one down from inside 

And so when one just does it

Without thinking too much 

You feel like nothing is impossible

if one dropped all the fuss

That one can love 

without fear of loss

and one can trust

without having to toss

That one can fight 

passionately for the sake of truth

and work tirelessly

without seeking any fruit

So next time, naysayers

cloud your thought

silence them with your actions

They'll then stare open-mouthed
