Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ Will ❯ Will ( Chapter 1 )

[ A - All Readers ]

I'm going to take a deep breath before touching my pen to this paper
If I don't, I fear my thoughts might bleed through to the other side
If these words get smudged somewhere along the way, I'll never grow the courage to say them aloud

Back to the beginning...this time I won't start in the middle of things
I'm going to find the source of this problem and fix it once and for all
Surely I can unravel it by tugging gently upon this single thread
Surely I haven't become too tangled in this pattern my mistakes have woven

If I have to trace it back stroke by stroke, I will
To say that I have found the catalyst will be my greatest accomplishment

I am no longer a product of this second hand
These impossibilities will succumb to me, and the sooner they realize it, the better

I'm tired of saying I can't
Failure has never been an option; it's about time it is no longer a reality

Clenching my fists makes my resolve stronger
Closing my eyes makes this last a bit longer

I won't allow my desire to get the best of me once again
Is it that I have learned, or have I simply, by some unknown fortune thus far, not made the same mistakes?
I'm determined to find the answer...
Even if it means I must run head first into the question
