Death and Liberty

anguished

I'm in a standstill
Don't really know what to do
Running out of options
And places to go
I'm scared to be without a home
I'm scared to be alone
But I guess thats what I get
I guess I'll have to cope
What I find myself searching for
Will I ever find?
This is the major question
That stands the test of time
I feel the insecurity
The sense of wonder
Will I find my way?
Or will I fall on my face?
I'm lost at a standstill
As my heart is burdened
By the lack of strength
That I hold inside
I'm not as strong as I thought I was
Or as strong as I needed to be
I guess I'm in the middle
Of death and liberty
I can fall now
Or try to fly
But here I am in the middle
Wondering what to try
For so many things hang
In the balance of time
Which is of the essence
And not mine
I wonder where to go
When cast out on my own
Into a world that makes it hard to live
On just my single salary
For me alone I cannot stand
So where do I confide
All I want to do
Is find a way to fly
So again here I am
Standing on the edge
Looking for an answer
If it can be found

I guess I'm in the middle
Of death and liberty

| Lovely depth of writing, soul searching, saying it as it is, leaving all the insecurities of questions unanswered but then life is the journey, esp like the 8th verse a little gem of wisdom. |

i absolutely love this poem. I find myself thinking about these very things alot. but i have yet to put them into words so brilliantly. this really hits home. i love it.
my favorite stanza is :
I can fall now
Or try to fly
But here I am in the middle
Wondering what to try
