Deliberations

Do I dare to lift the shade,
To find a slice of light?
Or turn my back upon the sun
Once more in endless night?

Perhaps.

There is safety in the dark

Covers pulled above the eyes
Shielded from the fiery spark
That bids me pull them off and rise.

True.

But if I reach, what will I find?

A breath of pain or sorrow?
A clearer path before, behind?
A way to face tomorrow?

Maybe.

There is no certainty, only choice
To freeze or start improving.
Reject the silence, clear the voice.
It’s time that I start moving.

Decided.
