I stare in silent contemplation
Suitcases in hand
This is the key to my redemption
If I can make this stand
I know I need to leave
My dreams lie down this road
If my heart could just believe
At that door my fears unload
I can walk away free
Feel the wind on my face
Be who I want to be
Vanish without a trace
And love, Oh to love
And be loved in return
Sense the heavens above
The longing it burns
But I stand here believing
In that world behind the drapes
Forever concieving
Of ways to escape

Thank you for the nice comments.  This poem is born out of my inability to end things swiftly.  I constantly second guess myself.  I have a horrible need to please everyone *L*

But I stand here believing
In that world behind the drapes
Forever concieving
Of ways to escape
             without pains no gains,
             dare to dream, dare to explore.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

A dream worth living is worth going for.
I think you write well of what many dream of, but are held back by fear.
