Stop. Wait. Go!

What if I |

What if I was nothing

What if I am afraid

What if I was wrong but don’t want to admit it

What if I could fly away

What if I could undo what I’ve done

What if I don’t have enough courage to be what I want

What if I can’t face the world

 

Freeze.

Are you thinking these things?

Wait.

Are you going to act or escape?

 

How do I |

How do I be a better person

How do I stop being afraid

How do I admit that I’m wrong

How do I face life rather than running away

How do I make right the wrong that I’ve done

How do I become who I’m meant to be 

Stop.

 

Can you take that leap of faith?

 

Halt.

 

Can you stand the first taste?

 

 

When will I |

When will I stop second guessing myself When will I believe I am worthy When will I actually finish something that I started When will I figure out who I am When will I finally be free

 

 

Pause.

 

Will you release your control?

 

Restrain.

 

Will you hold on to your hope?

 

 

Where can I |

Where can I go to find courage Where can I find what I’m looking for Where can I be who I want without being afraid Where can I find who I am

 

Cease.

 

Do you feel you are lost?

 

Retard.

 

Do you think you are whole?

 

 

Why should I |

Why should I always take the fall Why should I just let go Why should I be the one to say sorry

 

Caution.

 

If you want, you can change.

 

Slow.

 

If you decide, you’ll just go.

 

 

Who am I |

Who am I to decide Who am I to decline

 

 

What could I do if         how was an unknown?

When would I find      where I ought to belong?

 Why do I feel that      who I am, is never enough?

Okay, This is by far the best poem I read so far today. Its like you want to speak out to the whole entire world. It is like you are everyone's one voice. Your piece is really strong

Sometimes when you acknowledge your fears, they aren't so intimidating. =)
Thanks for reading

Interesting. These are the many questions whilst we journey. As you state, if you decide to change, you will change. Belief is everything.

Indeed. Belief in yourself can be the hardest but most important thing in life. Thanks for reading.
