Where do I go from here?

by [email protected]

December 3, 2015

How do I get rid of the fear and pain,

The agonizing, yet numbing shame?

I want to feel happiness, not tears,

But how do I get there from here?

I want to get rid of these stormy clouds,

Let loose from the unstoppable doubts.

I want to spread love and cheer,

But how do I get there from here?

I need to move on, love with all my heart,

Yet I do not know where to start.

How do I get rid of this trusting fear?

Where do I go from here?
