Shed

I find myself At the Crossings

Waiting for the train to pass by

So that I can walk over to the other side

When I delve into the core of my mind

I am bound to find

A certain darkness enveloping me

Sourcing from my fears unintentionally

These fears jeopardise my mind’s balance

Driving me towards a persistent turmoil

These fears imperil the strongest of my abilities

Pushing me deeper into a dark void

Being struck down with a raging dilemma

I take a drastic step

To overcome the obstacles without any help

Hoping for a new beginning as the seasons change

I shed my inhibitions like the trees shed their leaves of autumn

I shed my fears before I find myself at the bottom

So the next time I am stuck at the crossings

I’ll know better than

To give up on myself altogether
