I used to believe for myself
Or when others told me
I didn’t do enough
Could push my body faster
Keep it going a while longer
The Truth is
Sometimes I expand
Sometimes I burn
Through the threshold
Go out of breath
Out of balance
Way beyond
What I could have told
Sometimes going barefoot for 10 seconds
Got me over it
Or one extra lap at the pool
You are not on anyone else’s standards
You have your own thermostat
Whatever anyone sais
Own that
