UN~WILLING TO STEP INTO THE UN~KNOWN Its time I now say quietly to myself I knew it was coming but I did not want to admit it out loud, for then I would have to hear it come from my own lips. I walked through this bad dream not so blind, not so dumb, and not numb enough. This fact makes it even more imperative to react now before I give something up not replaceable. The finalizing of any kind of journey that has failed is not a step that one chooses to take easily. It often takes many steps going back wards before we can brave the leap into the unknown. This step to those who care will say it’s worth the pain, and others will not give counsel out of later rejection. But it is with out compassion, and malice will you find in abundance. What is it that compels me to keep this fight going, I can see the end so clearly. I also can see what it has done to those around me that I am liable for not only mentally but physically. Can I admit that I am a victim? If I look at the fact that I went in to this relationship with the belief that the love I felt was also mutual by him then that makes me a victim. If this were still a fight worth fighting then I as a victim would be able to reason my way out of it, but I know I can’t out of just plain evidence that the fight has been with myself for along while and it is fear of the unknown that prevents me from the actions that I must take. So to ponder it is simply that, but there is no more justifying, for I am free of blame. I have gone to all lengths to save the un-savable and now ride this trip knowing the out come but face the fear unwilling. By, Cerenity |

Hi Netswan, Thank you for your kind words, this is something I find myself pondering but lack the courage to make the jump. Hi amazon_lover, Thank you also for your kind words, I know my poetry sometimes does not seem to resemble poetry for the most part but to someone out there it does hopefully give some understanding to life. By the way I cannot find any of your work, have I missed it? Thanks again, Cerenity |

Cerenity, lots of poetic expression in the verse of inner struggle. ~~nice writing~~ A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
