PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If I could walk away from this emotional standstil

I would

but I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to find my

bearing from that of which I previously stood

my imbalance is once again up to its haphazard

standard of no good

my face of dire despair I must pin a smile upon so

to hopefully hood

does one ever truly learn

how can I turn out any and all my inner concern

why are the answers so blackened and blurry

is it safest to distance myself from such

consumate worry

along the step stone path of tender misgivings I

must scurry

my brow is furrowed, my heart half hating

as it tells me to please do hurry

what will I find on the other side of this out

dated destiny's door

a way of life I can atone to but in it possibly

even a shallower emotion I will only deplore

my mind retreats in absolute fear of what

tomorrow for me has in store

but that is more common the case

in any fearful skeptics core............
