CW: Sweet mystery.

“Sweet mystery.”
– a prompt for this week’s CW piece.
[Source: RandomnessInked]

 

I stand
on the brink of change.
Staring
into the distance.
Thinking
of what lays ahead.

Is there a way to know?
A way to find out what comes next?
To predict the outcome?

My legs are wobbly.
My mouth is dry.
My palms are sweating.
My heart is pounding.
My ears are ringing.

They say
I am making a mistake.
They say
I will regret it.

Those
who are meant to support me
are tearing me down.
Alone is how I feel.
Doubters I do not need.

My eyes are wide open.
I listen to you.
I hear you.
But I will choose
my own path.

I can either stand here
and wait
for an earthquake
to move me,
or I can
make a step forward
all by myself.

Life is a mystery
only we can solve.

We are our own detectives.

(I am not sure how I feel about this piece. I think it started strong, but then it turned into a rather random freestyle. And the ending. I really like it, but I did not know how to cohesively add it to the poem. Let me know what you think about all this.)
