prayers for the reasons why
#3. something tells me

ok I would start I say
to no one in particular
but fear has made me hesitate

probably unfounded you would say
you have not started anything new in years
so what do you know about fear?

but fear I reitterate

I built this wall
and such a massive thing it is
I built this wall
and must have done it in my sleep
for I can't remember slipping
even one stone into its slot
so yes I fear

and now if I remove the stones
where shall I place them
will I simply be repositioning
my hiding place?

but no something tells me I must
start
and so I trace the wall with words
seeking a weakness

Lord help me
lest these tears stifle my good intentions
I need a starting place

You did a lot of repeating in this poem. I guess it is the fear that makes you so insecure you have to double-talk. Tear down that damnable walk stone by stone.

lol it was supposed to be about half as long, guess I somehow superimposed a paste on a paste?

and lol the next in the series is 'stone by stone' however as of yet, the title sits by itself on the page

The title will grow and with growth . . . confidence.

r...thank you for reading, my writing is almost without exception totally honest, for my words I feel are God given, and if I am not going to be honest, why write...so yes if you want to find 'me' read what I have written  I have been at PIP almost since its beginning, though have changed my name more than a few times...sigh

Fear does hold one back but then again it can protect you from the night. As they say nothing to fear but fear itself. Enjoyed your words.

I say ... take the stones from the wall, lay them on the ground, and build a pathway from me to you....
