Everything that is hard to say

Stumbling around the dark
Looking for the switch on the wall
The door behind me
Presents a tempting option.

The very moment I’m sure
Is the exact moment that everything changes
Is this confusion tormenting me,
Or just nerves

I have pictured it in my mind
But translating into reality is where I fall
I want to say it
I want to say it out loud

I try to speak,
I try to say all on my heart
But my mouth remains silent
Lips disobedient to thy commands

Should I give up,
And throw my words to swift ocean?
Frustration grows
Where is my confidence?

These words are tough
But I’m sure they need to go forth
Owning them with my heart
I speak those words that are so hard to say
