Noncommittal
I hope you truly look inside,
I always wish you’d choose what’s right.
I want this train to pass you by,
Until you’re no longer scared of heights.
I know it’s hard for you to trust,
Believe me—I’ve been this way before.
The process waits; you must adjust,
So dive within, and reach the core.
I know it sounds like an oxymoron,
But to reach heights you must conquer depth.
Carry on now, the chance coming upon,
Once you’re through, you’ll catch your breath.
You’ve told me you have felt alone,
As you’re many miles away from home.
Yet see how far you’ve truly grown,
I find you beneath that stone-cold dome.
Connection is what you at times crave,
But you’ve told your mind it must behave.
You sway from yes to no like the wave,
But wake, rise up—life will not wait.
