Waiting On An Answer

Believing there is an answer-

Is like tossing my coins into an inescapable maze. 

Instead of waiting hopefully-

I can choose to approach this sadness with curiosity. 

Because in trying to run away- 

I am scattering pain in my wake. 

So that all that is left-

Is a numbness that keeps me idle.

Like the line: I can choose to approach this sadness with curiosity. I do enjoy the brevity with which you write. Your feelings and thoughts aptly written. There is catharsis in writing. xxoo
