What is "out there" that stops us from pursing our potential?

Question: What is "out there" that stops us from pursing our potential!?

Crustacean
hides
Peaks out
Retreats
Peaks again
Sees safety
Scuttles slowly
Two rocks more
this time
Waves to a
Passing sea turtle
Retreats
Rearranges reed cave
Settles to sleep
Day well spent
Adventures swirl
In dreams
Try again…
…tomorrow

lol at lano!
I LOVE your poem but me being me I just HAVE to add an addendum!!

Tomorrow comes, it's bright and sunny
Crabby peaks out and see's his honey
Clara the clam with "Vinny Claws"!?!?!!!?!?
He has to stop him before he scores!
He knows the lobster's sneaky trick
He MUST get there and get there quik!
He rushes out among the waves
Goin' to get the gal he craves
He ventures out with Phelp-like speed
His mind filled with his crushing need
He's nearly there!.!.!.he starts to glide
But all at once!.!.!. in comes the tide!!

tomorrow is another day!Www@QuestionHome@Com

An interesting list of images!. We are the ones who determine pursuit of our goals and fulfillment of our potential!. It takes courage and determination!. If we hide or turn away every time we meet an obstacle, we will never succeed!. It is no accident that sports analogies are used as metaphors for success!. The World Olympics provides perfect metaphors for how to succeed in difficult situations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Was that a question or a poem!? The picture you created looks cute, though (a crustacean waving as he passed a turtle)!.

Anyway, what's out there that stops us!? It's fear!. Man is scared of things where he is not sure if the outcome will favor him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

And I thought you were going to use a skunk as a metaphor!.!.!.lol This must be a 'generic' crustacean, as there is so many!. lol Kidding aside, a fun read that has meaning!. Nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

crocodiles in a pool are one!.
chocolate is another!. lol
um, i was sad once!.!.
