The Point

Resistance

I have yet to begin

And already it’s present

Even just thinking of starting

I’ve given myself any excuse

To postpone

To try again another time

Because to begin

To actually begin

When I told myself I would

Means that I am now responsible

For whatever does

Or more terrifying,

Doesn’t happen

Because of this initiation

How do I find the momentum to

Get this going, going though?

Where am I even going anyway?

Oh yes, I remember now

It’s not because of what I want

from starting

It because of what I want

while starting

This exact resistance,

I want to see it

I want to feel it

I want to tell it to fuck off

I want to tell it thank you

I want it to challenge me

To find the discipline to continue despite

Not stall because of

its existence
