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

Enjoyed, but learn to trust yourself as you are the only person you can count on to be there when you need you! Aloha!
