What Will I See?
Words
A bridge before me
Joining here to there
This side familiar
The other side not.
Fear holds onto me
Of the great unknown
It keeps me rooted
To this very spot.
Sorrow is with me
On the side I know
Dysfunctional life
Is what I know best.
I’m tired of pain
It’s time to let go
A step on the bridge
Is where I must go.
Panic rises
I want to return
A look behind me
But cannot go back.
I’m shaky inside
Know not where I go
One more step forward
I’m almost across
The safety I see
Feels so good to me
On the far side now
The bridge behind me.
