Forward in Truth

Thank you for your silence,
it has helped quell the noise
that exists always in my head,
which, among other things,
surrounds me with questions
of the us that never existed.

The voices whispered advice,
correct but difficult to admit;
sometimes a mystery
is simply meant to be a mystery.

That wispy fog is lifting;
Freedom, my inspiration,
is lifting her head,
giving me her hand
to help me forward once again.

I have no guide,
save Fear,
whispering doubts into my ear...
what if you fail?
what if you succeed?

But Curiosity stands beside me,
my constant, sometimes rash, companion,
he who wishes to be my champion,
propelling me toward the future.

I have only to hope
that Courage will also walk with me
for it is him whose help I need most.
