I WORRY

August 2013

*work in progress   

I wonder do I have the courage?
To create something truly real? 
Am I brave enough to cross the bridge?
Allow myself to feel?

Will eyes suspect they penetrate?
Fail the nature of what I do?
Is the intent not to violate?
In fact is this in life my cue?

Does everyone receive this blow? 
Fear the risk of fake exposure?
Do they question what they think they know?
Do they struggle with composure?

Do the constraints in which I bind myself prevent me from being free?
Is my ability to dream a dream a greater part of me?

THE ROAD

*work in progress                                                                                                              August 2013

Sometimes I feel as though I've come so far.

Though not gotten anywhere.

Do we ever really know where we are?

Do some people even care?

I wonder do I have a choice?

Of course I know I do.

I wonder will I find my voice?

Do I even know what to do?

Maybe I should have stayed on the road.

Not veered off the beaten track.

Though if I really want to be in that mode.

I could always make it back.

I know what I want though don't provide the effort that it deserves.

Instead I deplete my energy on this battle with my nerves.
