“Everyone is doing their best” people say,
but is that really so at the end of the day?
How can we reconcile that with free will,
or acknowledge that choice matters still?
Certainly everybody has reasons to falter,
faced with things hard and painful to alter.
Our best varies from a situation to another,
at times we might ask: “why even bother?”
Yet if we refuse to heed the call of our soul,
how may we then align with our true goal?
Only when we dare to listen may we soar,
thus reveal that we can be so much more.
