Postponing Life for a Braver Day…
Ah, that exhilarating dream…
Abounding with infinite possibility
You courageously hover
Heart booming
Butterflies swarming
Unknowns blazing upon your cheeks
Yet you swallow, unflinchingly, against a cottony tongue
Reigning in skittered nerves
Harnessing the river of trepidation rushing from brain to toes
You’re empowered
TRULY ALIVE
Cascading through anxiety
Delving untethered into the wild blue yonder
Staring life squarely in the face
Invigorated by freedom so delectable
Willing the sensation to never end…
⚓️⚓️⚓️
…But the alarm clock jars
Severing your fantasy
Grating beeps lurching you back to reality
Into the greedy clutches of a well-known thief
Your mind spirals downward
Engaged in a dizzying battle with itself
Rooting you in place
Incessant “what ifs”
Serving as your rusty anchor for longer than you’d care to admit
Panic’s prisoner
Postponing Life for a Braver Day…
