RISKING
It is almost a year of being barren
Of having a broken heart on mending
A year of tears and misery
A year of questions and insecurity
It is tiring to be in this disposition
To be guarded and closed off
To be doubting your capacity to love
Of wanting the things you could have
Is it time to allow somebody to come in?
To fill the spaces that are left broken
To start wishing for dreams anew
To have someone acting in lieu
Oh, how could I be selfish?!
What if my treasures will not approve?
What if my soul is taken for granted?
What if I am just being deluded?
But if I remain forever asking
Always a skeptic, always doubting
Not letting myself soar and be open
Will I have my chance again?
So, despite the fear of judgment
Despite the ridicule and censure
I am risking and taking another leap
I am gathering my new laughs in a heap
I might be misunderstood but at least
I will have someone to always confide with
I will have someone to love in abandon
Whether it leaves my soul in perdition
I pray though that it will not be the case
I hope to have Jesus squarely face
To march and wear white with lace
To be eternally happy in the coming days
