Guess

I'm not sure where
I'm going.
On one side I have
money and comfort.
On the other,
a tantalizing
fantasy.

A dangerous risk
for one who
lives by
'rather safe
than sorry'.

But maybe this is
my chance to
break my shell
and take a second
leap of faith.

I would say my
heart ain't
on the line
but I guess it'd be
a lie.

It wants this
as much as it
wanted him
and that acknowledgment
scares me.

Speaking of him,
it's hard to be alone-
to wake every morning
and have none
but your own.

I guess that I'm learning
to love myself first
at least that's
what I'm told
by the wise in verse.

But really I think
It's just a line they say
to help ease ym pain
from day
to long day.

I guess that it's working
and I guess that I'm strong.
I guess quite a lot now:
let's hope
it's not wrong.
