Is It Possible? (poem)

Is It Possible

To Create My Own Way?

In the way that I want

and would love 

if it went how I wanted it to?

 

To share truth as I've learned and discovered

through trial and tribulation

and entering the depths of unknown and uncertainty.

 

To risk judgment, hate, and crucifixion

in favor of freedom and love

for myself and those

who are ready to listen and see?

 

or will I stay safe

doing what I think is appropriate

instead of going after that which I love and dream

and possibly failing with no return

 

do I just go for it all?

do I unleash Gabe to the world?

do I put myself on the line?

the real me?

my true beliefs

true experiences

true vision

and true truths?

 

do I risk being wrong?

do I risk being crushed

the real me

being crushed

 

do I risk the resistance of mankind?

in favor of love coming out of me

on all fronts

without apology

or restrain

 

that maybe

nobody will accept me

and ill fail

 

or maybe

im just convinced

that I can't have what I want

 

and that all I've said

is the real lie

 

and that I, and all this,

is actually meant to be.
