Crush It

There’s that damn boulder.

In your path.

You push it.

And push it.

And that damn boulder

Has no desire to get out of your way.

It doesn’t go

Where and when you want it to go.

It might not budge.

It might roll backwards

Flattening you in the process.

Or

You might crush that behemoth.

Or

You might step out from behind it.

Walk around it

And leave it behind you.

But you will always have the muscle

And power

And lessons

From pushing that damn boulder.
