This Thing Called Life Poem by Megan McDevitt

in life, your dealt with alot. To stop, or to go. to folllow, or to lead. To listen to your heart.. Your always finding another reason to look to somone else for answers. Its like were all to scared to look within ourselves. but what do we have to lose? what is there to fear? Nothing. You cant lose something, if you never had it in the first place. You have to take a look around, you. Life would be so much easier, with out the sleepless nights, or when we think about something so much, you cant eat, you cant dream, you cant think. you can hardly breathe. Its like your paralized to the word ' life' and everything that comes with it. its like you want to more forward, but apart of you is still stuck in the past. those moments where you had no worries in the world. But theres the future, and we dont know why. but we're scared, we are all scared. Your scared to move on, and maybe its not fear, maybe its something holding you back, and you look inside yourself to let go, but you cant. you cant let go, and you cant face this world, and you dont want to travel it alone. but when it comes down to it, what would life be with out all of this? . Its okay to be scared, its okay to not know what is going to happen next, if we werent allowed to be scared than the joy, and the relief wouldnt feel so good. Conquering your fear and moving on wouldnt feel so good, if you werent allowed to be scared. So go out there, and take on this world, with nothing less than your smile. Its waiting for you.
