Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

In Limbo

As I tiptoe down life’s 
highway,
My conscious reminds
of past falls.
Now I’m at a crossroad 
afraid to move.
I’m terrified of a fatal 
fall.
What if I fall and can’t get
up again?
I don’t know what to do,
my feet feel like lead.
All of dreams must be
put on hold.
Because I’m stuck in
limbo, 
I can’t move forward,
not even an inch.

Jennifer Proxenos September 16, 2021 at 9:47 AM that is exactly how I felt after I fell, your emotions and thoughts describe and include what we have all experienced at some time or another. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Vijay Pandit September 14, 2021 at 10:34 AM Those moments imprison the mind. Well articulated thoughts my friend. The exist to good is just around the corner.

Christuraj Alex September 14, 2021 at 10:30 AM The Limbo Philosophy of "the border-place between heaven and hell where dwell those souls who, though not condemned to punishment, are deprived of the joy of eternal existence with God in heaven" has been brought out in your write beautifully.

Heidi Sands September 14, 2021 at 9:40 AM Well expressed Alexis. A time for tiny steps and maybe some music . I hope you have a nice day :)

Marilene Evans September 14, 2021 at 8:59 AM Alexis, sometimes we have to move forward with fear or do it with fear.... although it is easily said than done.
