Looking at your life from the outside and the inside

Spring

Life returns…

I want to embrace it and smile in my soul

But grief and fear hold me back.

Hope

For life to return

I want to feel it and

Laugh in my spirit but
Dread and doubt paralyze me.
Joy…
For life in my days again

I want to know it and

Relax in my heart but
Anger and resentment consume me.
Contentment…

For my life to return to a relaxing normal

I want to believe it and
Have it in my being but

Uncertainty and mistrust won’t allow it.

Life…

I will see it return and give new life

I deserve it and

Need it
But choice and trust must be my doing.
