I haven't arrived

I haven't arrived,

for, I still can't see,

having enough courage,

to change perspectives. 

For, I am immature,

seek comfort, from security,

in the cradle of routines,

and not risk, beyond means. 

I haven't arrived,

for, I still have envy,

yet, actions are lacking,

to reach certain capacity. 

And I find excuses, 

to avoid getting involved,

sparing precious times, 

in taking responsibility new. 

I haven't arrived, 

still walking, on this journey,

fearing obstacles ahead,

taking steps cautiously. 

Yet, the pace had slowed,

while others are marching ahead,

and I panicked, tried to chase,

only to realize, my feet paralyzed.
