THE STRAW

I am scared, especially when that
Thought crosses my mind.
It’s like strolling past an expensive boutique,
Where beautiful pieces catch my eye,
Yet remain just out of reach.
Still, I pause to admire them,
Rather than altering my path.
For I know they are worth the longing.

It might be hard to wait for
A dream that may never come true,
But giving up is even harder
When you know it's everything you desire.
