Midterms

There is no such thing as a set back.

What it means is that you have momentarily failed
and perhaps the moment has made you
subconsciously
stop aspiring for what comes next,
and momentarily
you no longer want to move forward,
or do anything.

But don't see this as a set back.
Find a story,
become a character,
be the girl crushing on the quarter back,
or the boy fighting in the war,
give it an hour,
maybe find another story,
or a longboard,
or road to ride it,
or a song to hide it,
it's not a set back.

it's just this moment,
and I promise,

it will be over soon.
