Poetry Corner: What If…?

0

Musing and brooding…and ever speculating

Panicking and shuddering…and ever sighing

Resigning from the present…and loathing the future



Is it for the fear of the unknown?

Tiring out and retiring…without trying out a new trick

Standing at a distance …and not striving enough

Running away and backing out… without facing the reality

Permitting pessimism to overtake optimism

Is it for the fear of the unknown?

 

Closing the chapter before the characters become legible

And before legible characters bring  tangible results

Allowing character assassination to still your own character

Is it for the fear of the unknown?

 

Starting and pausing and quitting…even before the end

Regretting and repenting…for what you commit not

Denouncing your inclusion at the least trauma

Announcing your destination before takeoff

Is it for the fear of the unknown?

Shutting off and tuning out…without turning to the other page

Rehearsing indifferently…and participating passively

Broaching the subject…but leaving it in its broken parts

Dropping your hands off the wheels

Dreading that day…the doomsday

Is it for the fear of the unknown?

 

Stocking and piling…and stockpiling

Carrying your eggs in a single basket

Waiting for the storm to break the wind

Breaking the rules…and waiting for the tremor

Is it for the fear of the unknown?

What if the unknown…turns out as unknown?

What if tomorrow never comes?

What if?

 

What if it was just fear?

Just morbid fear of the unknown?

What if…?
