Potentiating Potential
Those times that I cry -without knowing why, are a beckoning from buried pieces of myself.
Those leaky fears that trickle into my imagination: A stable tree, rooted in anxiety.
All can go wrong, but what will happen - knows no morals. It is, as it is.
My tears will bellow just the same. Those ghostly terrors won’t vanish because I command; they will survive inside me just as history prevails from the past.
A fear is as unchanging, and ruthless as seasonal storms - and should be approached with grounded certainty: it will always exist.
Can I transcend what scares me?
Can I accept, and mourn for what hasn’t - but might happen?
Will I unbury my mind from these mounds of fright, that paralyze me in my quest for freedom?
I write my memoir - I drive this ship of fragile fruition - whether I be frozen or thawed from fear - I am still captain.
Perhaps what ails me most is the weight of my control. While it is an entirely formless entity - it is simultaneously all I’ll ever own: my story.
And who can kneel in acceptance that they are afraid of themselves, their potential, but also their cowardice to honestly face it?
Who am I to believe in myself? And who am I to waste away in futile self-destruction?
Who am I but a tangled bunch of worry, hanging by thousands of threads of opportunity?
Who am I - experiences layered in complex revelations , soon to be lost if not inscribed into words?
Who is anyone, really?
