Blinders

"Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head."
- Meryl Streep

Limitations,
the wasteland concealed
behind the mountains of your fears.

A desert
of unfulfilled desires dying
because your focus
is on the sheer drop
on either side of the pass
leading over the crest
of your terror.

Stop!
Put on the blinders
of confidence;
of faith in your own abilities;
of belief in your dreams
and then continue
up the path of accomplishment.
