PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've written about the dark side of me

negativity

shedding light

so that I can see what needs changing

still resistant 

to what is most necessary

I feel it

I'm frightened by it

what if I don't change?

what will become of me?

what will become of my soul?

my spirit...

will it suffer?

my gut tells me yes...

yes...

it is now necessary to make the shift

you know what you have to do...

so why don't you just do it?

sloth... sloth...

procratinate... procrastinator...

you can always put it off for another day

so when will you change?

when will you actually be 

disciplined enough

to do what it takes?

thoughts arise...

it's all in my own hands

dark side comes to the surface

wanting to spook me...

wanting to terrify me...

telling me what will happen to me...

sending me into a panic

my stomach all tied in knots

fearing the dreadful fate that awaits

should I not make the shift

the necessary shift to save myself

from myself

take a breath...

lay down and breathe...

the breath brings the light

which dissolves all the fears...

all the fears that want to overcome me

breathe... breathe... breathe...
