So many times I wanted to ask, <br />Will you wait for me? <br />Are you strong enough to hold on <br />Until I can break loose? <br />I am a prisoner in my own mind, <br />Unable to visualize <br />This adventure that you offer me <br />Without reservation; <br />So many times I tried to let go, <br />To grab the dream and run, <br />There's just so much I don't know - <br />Can I trust my heart? <br />So many times life's passed me by <br />And I've failed to get involved - <br />What is this fear that holds me still <br />And threatens my existence? <br />So many times I came so close <br />To severing my bonds, <br />They continue to suffocate me - <br />Am I strong enough to break free? <br /> <br /> <br />4/19/2008<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-many-times-2/
