Tredding Water

Caught between two versions

Action and commitment

Or

Fear and anxiety.

Just barely breathing

Stuck

Like sinking into quicksand

Drowning in my fears, anxieties unwanted feelings

Treading water so hard just to catch a breath

So what happens

When I stop treading

When I stop fighting for air

When I decide to sink

Is that true surrender

Sinking into the cold dark abyss.

Will I finally understand than

With nothing left in me.
