A Confession

Life’s  short.
I’m scared,
But you know.
Can’t keep running
But can’t let it run out.
Dreams too many,
Many rungs
To vanquish.
Loneliness,
Darkness may overwhelm.
Just don’t give up on us.

    Admitting we're scared is half the battle. I also like the last line :)

      Sometimes, being truthful too is not enough ... But again, hope triumphs everything and it is this hope that wants us to run the battle ... Glad you liked it Janna :)

      Thanks Ann ... Only if the heartfelt makes the other one to linger on a little bit more and eventually may be everything falls in place !
