Does not make it easy
for the seed to burst forth
and let the new plant
stretch itself above the earth
to take a breath of fresh air
But the seed
Resists the pressure
And brings out
A new life
Into the world
Experiencing the birth pangs
Of releasing a new shoot.
Getting started
With a new habit
Needs consistent practice
And the will to sustain
To overcome
The limitations of the past.
Yet, the ability
To achieve this, is the goal
Of only the determined
Who are willing to drop
The old and pick the new
Thus, embracing the birth pangs
Of adopting a new habit
In life
You may win
You may lose
It is all in the game
But, do you stay defeated
Or make a counter choice?
Yes, the brave move forward
Undaunted and courageous
Never feeling victimized
But willing to begin
And go in a new direction
Fully aware of the birth pangs
Of starting afresh.
A new job, a new environment,
A new relationship, a new geography,
A new culture, a new school,
A new friendship, a new tradition,
Anything new, may bring along,
New experiences like never before
Making you feel awkward
And sometimes reluctant too
To take a step forward
But welcome the new beginnings
With outstretched arms
Realizing that birth pangs
Augur the birth of a NEW YOU!
