Anxiety the rude neighbor
#WritcoPoemPrompt75
Write a poem about the hardships of trying to achieve something.
Stop fearing what's out there
someone is waiting for you
"I couldn't do it, I was scared. I did go outside only to avoid the one place I called home. outside I stood staring at those huge black gates that were open, like arms ready to grab me or better yet push me away."
Everyone walked through those gates naturally and It made me upset
why? why couldn't I do that?
my fears were more powerful, than my courage
If I had any at all
I'm a disgrace as an adult and future author
If I can't just walk in and ask to see someone I truly missed, then I've failed them and all I worked hard for
Tears were trying to come out as I turned back around
Heading home like a coward...
"But this is my home! I belong there always!" my heart screamed in protest
but my brain refused, "You don't belong anymore, It's time to move on to better things, Stop living in the past and start living in the present."
I felt conflicted, but I know they would still be proud of the person I've become if they saw me
"I'm gonna head home and rest but I will come back and see you one day, just not today."
