A descriptive word
I not often would present
To myself
Has been cast in blindness
By the spotlight
The curtain distorts
The intentions
Of even my own
Acknowledgment
Dwelling at my reflection in the water
When ripples form
At another coin I toss
Wishing
Wishing at a well
Instead of planning,
Because planning
Makes the dream real,
And I’m afraid of reality.
I could spend my whole life
Staring into my reflection
Debating on what I'm worthy of wishing,
Instead of not letting those thoughts
Take over my mind
Fidgeting with coins between my fingers
Before I inevitably let flick,
Instead of pretending I believe in myself
And take a chance on something.
Why would I rather
Be alone
Than run into
Your open arms
Waiting for me?
What things are so important
That I cannot just turn away
So easily?
Doing nothing
Instead of loving.
What the hell is wrong with me?
