Journey of Denial

July 31, 2014

I am bittersweet,

Bittersweet and scared.

I am unable to let go

Of all my fears.

Interested in the journey,

But very wary of the road,

I'm worried by upcoming decisions

And how this adventure will go.

It's hard not to get sucked in

To all of my nagging doubts.

They fill my body like boulders,

Heavy and jumbled about.

I wish I could climb the pile,

To reach my heart, buried at the top.

I want to let go.

I don't want to make this stop.

But I'm afraid my buried heart

Won't be able to move on,

And before I know it,

This journey will be done.
