A Rope Of Insecurity Poem by Malory Joyce

Uncertainty leads me hanging off the rope of my insecurity,
to fall is inevitable for when I am restrained by my will hope is never,
futile, paused, I stare upon a white glance that holds my dignity,
too long I lay inside myself, I must reunite with reality and sever.

What overcomes me is zeal overthrowing my apathy,
ambiguous of why but I found the reach to ameliorate the situation,
no longer listless I take the advantage to lift what was too heavy,
and still clinging to this rope I lift myself out of my depression.

My anger has become a leach as its target is my heart to be,
sucking what’s left of my forgiveness and the chance to conciliate inside,
trust was never a friend of mine when all it does is betray me,
but to hold a grudge as a replacement to my pain, it lied.

I may never trust nor forget, but I chance and forgive,
that beholds my strength to climb this rope daringly,
uncertainty leaves me hanging on my insecurity, but I live,
and I live with fear, caution, temptation, and bravery.

I reach what connects and bounds this here rope,
Reunited with my dignity, never will I lose again,
for I found reason for my being to climb this rope,
to find forgiveness and security within myself again.
