Accustomed to a long-term discipline,
achieving what was chosen as a goal,
is yes, success, and certainly a win,
but leaves me feeling like it punched a hole
in me, that now requires self-control
to thrive without, without discarding yield.
I want to keep the treasure that’s revealed,
but modulate the habit I have grown.
I need to level and expand my field
to cultivate the seedlings newly sown.
