The New Year stretches
Before me;
Ripe and glistening
With promise
It beckons,
Yet...
I am so fearful!
Feeling as if
I am treading
On thin ice
I cling one-handed
To the past
While reaching hesitantly

Will not wait
While I muster
My nerve.
It demands

To fester
From the want
Within.
So, I must reach deep,
Gathering together
All the courage
And faith
I possess
To leap blindly
Into the waiting,
Vibrant,
Void.

with courage... we all suffer disappointment in our life...
but you can make good use of disappointment and take in
knowledge instead... if you choose to hang onto fear it
basically means "YOU" like living in fear "YOU" do not choose
to be happy... think about this
