"If you don't love your work,
Move aside and make room
For that someone
Who does loves it,
So that they may soar
And you can too."
But what if you find yourself
Up a quagmired career path,
Like Charlie and Rosie
Fighting the reeds
On the African Queen?
There is no turning back,
There is no easy path forward,
And no chance of jumping ship.
So what is a girl to do?
Keep slogging, rowing.
Focus on sinking the Louisa,
Prepare to be hung.
Love something hateful
For the sake of sanity, stability.
Perservere, pray, and redouble
The focus, the energy, the faith.
Overcome the pain when
Stinging insults
Cling like leeches
To the heart
And when the breeze
Finds you and the sun shines,
Lean back on the rudder
And soak it up.
