Act.

Pick up the Pen,

Put it to Paper

Write to Write.

It is your therapy.

Where you find release.

How things come out.

Do not analyze it.

Just do it.

The words will enact

What They Must.

Most things will be for you

Because you have allowed the turmoil.

Why do you fear?

Why find it so hard,

discouraging,

Unpowered

To allow your passion,

Learn the knowledge.

Daunting,

Yes.

End goal?

None.

So far

Right Now.

Lost from Home,

from touch,

from tender allowance

to be so calm

Not on the edge

Wistfully walking this manicured path.

Though I do not believe they exist.

At least not wholly.

Some things get easier,

A path you do not have to clear,

Sadly most fought through.

Know what you need to do.

Why can you not find the energy?

the desire

the anything

To sit down and read what angers you,

That anger feeds the passion

Passion such a daunting task,

repeatedly kicked down.

So much courage lost,

Not built,

Drained away

Must learn to step forth,

Crash into what is there

Just go out,

You make yourself alone

Trying to end

The endless cycle.

Trying to gain some advantage

Over this creeping Darkness.
