Three Little Words

It is with mixed emotions that I delve into the world that is my mind. Swirling with questions, feelings, doubts and hopes, it is a treacherous world that only the bravest dare enter, myself only reluctantly included.

There are thoughts I wish to block out entirely, yet they remain constant beggars at my door. I command them to leave and they only cry out more insistently.

Then there are the thoughts, the ones I want most to dwell on, that always seem just out of reach. Slipping through cracks, ducking round corners, tripping through the dusty hallways in the back of my mind are the answers to every question, the very things that will set my heart at ease.

I find myself joined in a battle with the unwanted who come willingly to torment me, whilst simultaneously pursuing the very desires of my heart that flee before me. I am weary with pondering and wrestling. I am ready to lay down my meager weapons and allow the one who is much stronger than I to do battle in my stead.
