Solitude

I stand alone.

The solitude must not become me

For although we descend into darkness,

We don't have to do it alone.

If we have to courage

To join our heart with another

Until our identities are merged with such a passion

That not even the darkness can find a place to hide

In the corner of our glorious presence.

We are undefeatable

Indestructible

Incomparable.

Yet here I am

Surrounded by the darkness so there is only a bantam sliver of light

In the middle of my heart,

The place you traced and whispered, I can carry, I can free you.

Yet here I am.

About to take the plunge

To be bound in my freefall.

The solitude has become me.

Meandering

We are the wanderers. 

We are the hopeful. 

We are the hopeless. 

We create light. 

We create darkness. 

We are surrounded. 

We are empty. 

We get lost

spend our lives 

trying to get found. 

We meander from 

happiness 

to pain

from pain 

to happiness. 

We are everything. 

We are nothing. 

Inhale. 

Exhale. 

The sun

was not built 

for you.

Choices

As the choices of life surround you 

You begin to feel overwhelmed 

So many decisions flying at you

Many of them not making sense 'til now.

As you stare at the choices around you, 

Your heart and brain start a feud;

Some of your choices have been kind

While others have just been rude. 

But you shrug off the past and set 

Your shoulders towards the now 

You know you have to make a decision 

You just do not know how.

Suddenly a choice floats in front of you 

And you put aside any doubt

Your mind is set in stone, 

As you choose to follow the difficult route.
