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. 09/14/2021 Alexis Y.

One author talked about being in parentheses when life held you in one place, with seemingly no escape.

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.

Where there's a will there's a way. Be on the plus side of things.

Those moments imprison the mind. Well articulated thoughts my friend. The exist to good is just around the corner.

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.

Alexis, sometimes we have to move forward with fear or do it with fear.... although it is easily said than done.
