~ The Voices Of Resistance ~
In a fetal pose,
Alone at night
I cry.
Alone at times, I hear
The voices of resistance
Coaxing me,
Taunting me,
Into believing I can not,
I will not,
Succeed
At anything I attempt,
As though the gods themselves
Had driven away
The soft snows of opportunity
Landing me
In the coy comfort
Of knowing that
I almost won the race,
I almost walked on stage,
I almost voted for myself,
To become the man
I was meant to be,
Instead
The insidious rationalizations,
The disgusting justifications,
Creep in
Like lurid sin,
"I can finish the song tomorrow!"
"Writers block has me hollow!"
"I just can't find the time!"
To defeat these,
The voices of resistance...
In a fetal pose,
Alone at night,
I begin
To cry,
When suddenly
A light,
And there
Etched upon the wall
The words,
"Awareness Makes Confidence"
Makes perfect sense,
As my shoulders relax
And I realize,
For the very first time,
I need never
Cry again,
Lest beauty
Overwhelm...

Tony, you really know how to put things into words and their deserved perspective.
Brimming with inner thoughts and turmoil and finally elation of awareness, a catharsis.
Another superb read and thanks for sharing and touching a poets and writers base.
Five rewarding stars and pinned too.
Thanks again and I wish you well Tony.
