Poem: I Lost My Nerve

Silence.

Calm.

Regret.

Sorrow.

Goals

unfulfilled.

The slow deterioration

of the will

to live.

Here I am.

I sit

in disbelief.

I’ve lost

my nerve

a million times.

How did I

arrive

at this place?

When will

I find relief?

I wonder,

question,

and feel surrounded

by a void.

And yet,

I’m

still here.

I wake

each morning

to a new day.

I see

my dreams

are just a touch away.

I muster up

the energy

to try

to achieve

what is waiting

for me

to achieve.

Although,

the road has been

tough to travel,

I’ll continue on.

What is life

without hope

and what is hope

without life?
