Fear

Who's going to be there?
To catch me when I fall?
To guide me when I'm lost?
To answer when I call?
Who can I count on,
To help pull me through?
When the only person I counted on..
Was you?
-me

Fear of moving on. Fear of what the future holds. After a breakup it's extremely difficult to picture yourself with anyone else.. It's also difficult to want to be open enough to let someone else in. It's a scary time when all you feel you need is yourself and if you're not careful that fear can consume you.

Courage

Courage. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself in situations that are out of your comfort zone, but you know what takes just as much, if not more? Getting out of a situation, whether it's a relationship, or a place, or even just a habit. Sometimes we get so used to being there that we can't get out, or we don't want to. It takes a lot of courage to leave something in your past.

Something.
Something I want.
Something I feel I need.
Something bad for me.
It's real,
It's right,
It's hurting me.
Somewhere.
Somewhere comfortable,
Somewhere alone,
Somewhere dark.
Someone.
Someone I run to,
Someone I trust,
Someone who betrays me.
He's perfect,
He's mine,
He doesn't treat me right.
Something else.
Right around the corner,
If only I take a step
In the other direction.
To somewhere.
Somewhere better,
Somewhere brighter.
If only I can get rid of
Someone.
Someone right,
If only I can leave
Everything I've ever known,
Behind.

This is me.

I'm Lacey. I am a writer. Maybe not the best, maybe not even good, but I love it. Poetry is my passion. I love symbolism and I love mystery. I don't mean reading mysteries, though I do enjoy that too, I mean being a mystery. I love when people ask me what my poems mean, and I love the confusion when I tell them they have to decide for themselves. Many people have outlets, such as reading, running, even just talking, and while I love all of these things, this is my outlet. Love it, hate it, but this is me, and these are My Thoughts.
