Dear Nike: This Medium Poem Is For You
The poem celebrates Nike’s iconic slogan “Just Do It,” using it as a metaphor for overcoming challenges and realizing one’s potential, written to inspire perseverance and self-belief.
In the early morning haze,
before the first light of dawn breaks the darkness,
a quiet whisper stirs, an echo through the still air:
Just do it.
This simple mantra,
a heartbeat of determination,
resonates in the chest,
a pulse that drives the soul forward,
unseen forces that shape ambition
into the tangible form of action.
The world lies in slumber,
dreams yet unformed,
while you rise,
a beacon of purpose,
a vessel of intent.
Leap from the precipice of hesitation,
feel the rush of the unknown,
let the winds of possibility catch you,
carrying you across the chasm of doubt,
where only the brave dare tread.
