My heart is pounding
My knees are weak
Unsure of what this may accomplish
Uncertain what it is I truly seek
Should I turn away & let it be?
Can I leave it, slowly eating at me?
I want to be strong
To face it head on!
But which is truly stronger
To let it heal in darkness
Or reveal the festering wound?
Perhaps it is stronger still
To simply let sleeping dogs lie.
I don’t truly know the answers anymore
And haven’t for a seeming eternity
