At the edge
From her little corner
Hesitant
Fearful
Looking down
At the edge of the party
Timidity
Self doubt
Doesn’t allow her leave the edge
Her feet are rooted
Just at the verge
Her head screams yeah
Her heart screams nay
Fear of the unknown
Keeps her from tipping over the edge
She remains just at the periphery
Wishing
But, never doing
Another sad woman needing help.
So many of us struggle at the edge – ambivalent, stuck.
I love pieces like this that address what seems such a common experience! Nicely done. For whatever it’s worth, perhaps you intended “yea” where you have “yeah”?
Thank you so much
I’ll edit
Such a familiar feeling — this brought back vivid memories for me of similar ambivalence.
Yes indeed
Thank you for your comment
Damn! That was me, to do or not to do. What if , what if , what if….
It resonates deeper than you know
Great work.
this brought to mind times when I’ve been fearful in a social situation. You’ve described is perfectly
Her head screams yeah
Her heart screams nay
