I've walked in total darkness
but the house was empty
so I had nothing to fear
except fear
I've swam
barely knowing how
made it to the other side
with the water as deep as my height
I've loved you
simple and true
I've conquered your heart
but not your mind
What ever love you give me,
makes me happy.

Keep true to the simple and true and you will conquer the mind as well as the heart...it just takes a little longer. Very well expressed, Walker!

Walker, I really enjoyed this one, and I could relate. For the life of me, I don't know why people pass up poems when there are not alot of responses, they miss out, like with this one. Great write.

Sometimes, you've got to just relax and enjoy the uncertainty.  It's all good.

Nothing you can do will make you stronger than accepting yourself.

Especially like the last two lines.
