"It is up to me / If I am to be // Free"


Poem Artwork

Free

 

Hollow and alone

No feeling nor thought

Except fear somehow

Dread of the unknown

I asked a friend what

Was left to me now

She told me to do

What I had not done

Though there is no new

Thing under the sun

All things are new for

One undone before

 

I knew she was right

I needed to know

If I could do more

I needed to go

Outside into light

Perhaps to arrive

Where once I had been

To come out alive

Not hide in between

Living and dying

She said to believe

It was worth trying

 

I needed to find

A sense of release

A sense that my mind

Could find its own peace

And by believing

This I would receive

The measure of grace

One finds achieving

A purpose a place

For better or worse

For good or for ill

In the universe

 

To do as I will

 

It is up to me

If I am to be

 

Free

Your friend is right. One cannot live in fear and dread of the unknown. Life is exciting and unpredictable, and to live life to its fullest there are wonderful opportunities for risk taking, that we must chance. And oh, so much fun to do so! I enjoyed reading this. Leah C Wilson
