We, too, can learn

I will take out the fire
Sure, there will be smoke,
but in time this will also clear

Did you mean: Unpredictable emotional ramblings?

It’s time I take my addiction by the hands,

I have been strong.

I still can be…

It’s not about draining the life from it,

let’s not fight fire with fire,

it is about balance.
Rivers, let me be one with you,

the lifeblood of our humanity,

I will be water,

boundless, life-saving, free,

I will cascade out of my mindset,

break the banks and flood myself,

I will take out the fire.
Sure, there will be smoke,

but in time this will also clear.

I am the dreamer

 

For years I’ve had to wake up, knowing where I am is not where I want to be, and the older I get the more the fire of my dream seems to die, the flame which once shone so brightly and fiercely and devoured every thought of doubt and consumed the comments of realism is slowly becoming dimmer by the day. I think back to when it seemed so possible, to when my level of ambition to some seemed so foolish, to when I could risk it all, but now I’m scared to jump. The taste of dirt is too real; the wounds don’t heal as quickly, as a matter of fact the wounds sting. I’m scared to jump because I’m scared I might just not get up. People have seen me jump before and at first I didn’t care but now I’m tired of not reaching the mark. Who am I? I am a dreamer, just like you I presume, well in my case I’ll say I’m a tired dreamer, who’s scared to dream but knows that I’ll never be satisfied or fulfilled if I don’t attain it. I decided to start this blog to push myself to jump.

I think of myself like Joseph in the bible, a dreamer, but with many challenges before reaching the destination, however for him I see progression and right now i feel very stagnant.

Every person I come across see this potential within me, they say they see greatness and this scares me even more, having potential within which never manifests, dying with this potential,  it is like the rose never blossoming in the spring time after a harsh winter, or the seed never germinating, the plant is just forever shut, enclosed in the hard outer shell of the pod, there is something beautiful within but no one will ever know, but I choose to break free.
