Pushing

Pounding those steps                                                                                                               along the lane 
I tell myself
"You can do it!"
If I can count                                                                                                                           the rounds I put in,                                                                                                                      I can assure myself                                                                                                                    "I can make it!"
The white lines                                                                                                                 stretch along                                                                                                                                         I see them as                                                                                                                              my guiding light
That yellow stripe                                                                                                                 gives me hope when                                                                                                                 my count increases                                                                                                                      I remember the saying                                                                                                     weak body, strong mind!

My walk today felt tedious. I could have stopped at any point, I was extremely tired but I kept pushing myself to keep going.

About Me

I am an Elementary school teacher , I taught at an International IB School in Accra, Ghana. I am now teaching in Hanoi. Writing is my passion and I try to write daily, at least in my sentence a day journal, to capture all the blessings around me. I write with groups of writers, such as Teach Write and sometimes Ethical ELA. I also encourage my friends to write , so I created a platform to make that possible -Writing Run.
