Writing Prompt

Shall I continue down this path

Of certain despair

And abandoned care?

Should I continue to break

Fragments of my heart

In hopes of a new start?

I am so uncertain

On this path

Called Life....

A joy divides its fragile dress,

With sorrow’s Sharing seam.

One thread of gold, the other black,

A wish, or faded dream?

We wear the gown in fields of light,

Till darkness takes its chance.

When Don succumbs to blackest night,

We’ll cower or we’ll dance.

Until the end, we’ll surely tread,

Through laughter and in tears.

A battlefield of Hope and dread,

For all the coming years.

With trem...

I reach for you in the dark

Finger tips brushing

I reach but yet I’m flinching away.

Uncertainty poisoning my brain.

The door to my mind is jammed

Too afraid to let you in.

Can you see the state I’m in.

I’m uncertain,

What if you hurt me?

After knowing me, seeing every bit of me

What if you’ll leave?

If I let you in

I lose control of being the person you think I am.

Who am I?

Will ...

Turn right or bear left,

choice is rendered meaningless

in the eyes of fate...

There’s a time when your mouth opens or closes doors,

When opportunities or lack therefore, hinder on the syllables that fall from your lips,

Yes………

………No

Two simple words that hold in paralysis, all prior thought,

As if saying them out loud moves mountains and splits seas.

Yes………

………No

It’s common knowledge to me now,

That the fates have a cruel way of making their presence known,

On occas...

The best thing

About

Changing

Or rather

Rearranging

Or maybe

Amazing yourself

is that

You will

Never

Truly

Know

Where

Any bridge will

Take you

What

Any path will

Make you

Or whether love will

Build or

Break you

You will, however

Know a sort of

uncertain bravery

A taste to which

Precious little can compare

...

Decisions

Revisions

Divisions

Visions

Lessons

Regressions

Volition

I walk upon a winding staircase

Wrought with brazen points of view

Listen and I’ll surely stumble.

Feeble’s he who thought he “knew”.

With awareness of naiv’ty

Comes a curving of the rungs

One misstep...”I’m done!”, I mumble,

Nescient to my own false tongue.

“Don’t give in!”, I hear you calling,

“—Lest you cause your own descent”

I stagger up and grasp the railing,

Glad my downfall to prevent.

...

I’m uncertain, deep inside

The weight of a decision I can’t decide

A thousand pieces goes by heart

Everyday, I’m breaking apart

Hope has left me, gone away

No matter what I do or say

I’ve shattered beyond all joy or hope

I’ve let myself fall and mope

I’ve went beyond all light or love

Nothing in the world can lift me above

Once I could just smile and adore

But I don’t think I can anymore...

Decisions, decisions,

Should I go ahead or not?

Stay in my comfort zone

Or take the chance life has brought?

We never really know the outcome

Should I do or shouldn’t I?

Deciding is a shot in the dark

One that can make us really cry.

The biggest fear of a decision

Is not knowing what follows

It can be a fantastic stroke of luck

Or it can drown us in sorrows.

Should I leave my job?

But what if t...
