Kelly Hitchcock Poet Rhyme

A Pact

I am weary of my conscious awareness 
Sometimes life is hard to believe
I know my intentions and how I feel inside
But, I'm not sure what others see?

It's not that I really care what people think of me
However, I never want to be despised
I'd like to be seen as someone who truly cares
But I'm finding honesty isn't always wise

I've made a pact with myself to always do my best
To step to the front of the line and lead the way
It seems so many - many times
I've had hell to pay

I've sought knowledge
I've questioned truths
I've asked people to clarify and evaluate
All I'm asking for is the scientific proof

For most, the fantasy is greater than reality
There's a greater comfort in the known
But it's in those late night moments in silence
There's discomfort when you're alone

There's fear in acknowledging our impermanence
For uncertainties, certainty is strongly applied
Unfortunately, the thought of not knowing
Creates irreconcilable thoughts deep inside

Perhaps I'm not crazy?
I'm just traveling on an unmarked road
The path may be unfamiliar and uncomfortable
But that's where strength is gained, and wisdom bestowed
