My child prepares
The next journey
Of schooling
A single step
This new world
Transformation
Intimidates some
Others feel promise
Some blend them
Strange balance

My child prepares
The next journey
Of schooling
A single step
This new world
Transformation
Intimidates some
Others feel promise
Some blend them
Strange balance
Contentment pulls
Me back to slumber
Despair’s grip
Weakens
Anxiety lurks
Waiting to
Wreck havoc
Embracing my fear
Stepping into the unknown
So much I don’t know
I realized this morning how much I’ve struggled with my new job. I’m in a new industry and doing very different work. And i’s been a long time since I’ve stretched myself like this. It’s been fearful, but good. I need to push myself forward. It’s far too easy to settle into easy, no risk, safe work. I need to push through that fear and keep growing, stay alive and vibrant.
Insecurities torment
My broken psyche
Bringing out internal pain
Denying my gifts
Dragging on my dreams
I shall resist
Love this image I found over at The Odyssey Online. Definitely go give them a look.
I am pulled from sleep
Insecurities fight me
Destroy happiness

I face towards the light Abandoning fear’s embrace And moving forwards
