You know that just ten more will get you over the line
but you don’t know if you have ten more in you.
You don’t know if you have one more in you.
At this hour
with this level of energy
you’re not quite sure what one more is.

You know you have to grind it out
but you wonder how you could possibly do it;
with what resolve or where the grit
will come from.

Just do it, they say
but they’re not here.
You are.
You pray you can do it.

You try
and see what happens.
