prospect

 

you sit and slowly they fill until they overflow
your cheeks feel stiff
from the salt.
release

the mix of hope and fear is
in your chest and in your core




hope came seeping out of your fingers, your mind, your heart
fear comes creeping around your fingers, your mind, your heart


the biggest leap
could mean the hardest fall
your hands go cold just thinking about it

can the craziest thing you've ever done
feel like the sanest thing you've ever done?

you want it more than anything else.
but if you're alone in holding the reasons
how can it ever be?

how can something here-&-now affect your past, your present
and
your future

so, i can't let it go
not that way
not without taking the risk
i'll let it go
pour it out
leave it
in a place where
the wind may toss it
the rain may soak it
and it will either die or bloom

i'm worth it

you're worth it

is this worth it?
