Trepidation by Billy Charles Root

By Raja's Insight on November 12, 2018 • ( 0 )

I’ve come this far and now, here I stand

At the edge of freedom and yet, in foreign

land

Within my mind commences, self-interrogation

To weed out the what if weight of trepidation

Freedom is just over there, take it, it’s yours

Why do I just stand here, what am I waiting for

Take a step or a leap, just walk out into faith

Oh but what if this courage is not real, what if it is fake

And here I stand at the edge, violently shaking about

Probably over thinking this and drowning in self-doubt

Griping ropes and dragging feet, heavy is my woe

First plank step and my heart goes calm, I will peruse this foe

Confident stride, hand over hand, step by step I close

Freedom side in the center of my eye, I ditch trepidation for hope

Upon the rock I lay my soul, salvation the reward

Not alone, an extended hand, always presently pulling me forward
