Letter To the Void
I stand here again
At the edge of this step
And it feels like I am balancing on the edge
Without any sight to know if the next step exists.
I tire of this
It feels like a fog has settled
And I’ve become cold and numb
It takes so much strength to resist.
I don’t have foresight
This path in front of me is invisible
And the last step made me tumble
I’ve only begun to stand back up.
I can’t hear others
I know there exist those that offer support
But I can’t make them out over the noise
I need the noise in my own mind to quiet first.
I don’t trust myself
Without sight or sounds to have knowledge of that next step
I’ve become frozen with fear
So how can I possibly move forward?
I can feel him
I am no longer on this path alone
Even at moments like this, I can feel his love
And that reminder gives me the courage to step forward
