Impact

Location

Have you ever felt so powerful, so capable, and so unstoppable that your response is nothing?

I'm not sure if it is a universal feeling or if I am alone in this thought.

But I have wondered what would happen if I gave all I got

Overwhelmed with the possibilities so my only response was to stop.

The possibilities they grow like mountains and make me feel small

They tell me to get back up from the blow yet I continue to fall

See you must know that nothingness is my fear I can hear its call

It is an abyss of being insufficient 

I could be proficient but that too I fear

because in the end I wish to know that I have been near

to something great to something deep yet it seems an impossible feat

yet my very existence depends on this task 

so everyday I must ask:

No matter how big or how small, impact is impact

I need that to be fact

I want to believe it and not just to act
