Poem - Maybe Next Time

An ache
Once vibrant
Explosive
A glimpse of truth
Unlimited potential
Two paths converging
Change
Is it too much?
Or not enough?
Doubt
Frustration
Two diverging from their own truth
Fear of possibility
Day-to-day
One submits
Completely
Still shaken, but true
Adversity
Rebirth
Too much for the other
“I don’t want to go there this time around”
Why?
Don’t you see the path?
Maybe best if we are not willing to go all the way
No settling
I wanted to show you all of it
Maybe not?
Maybe next time
