Action

words once spoken
ride the wind

moving from ear to ear
they can become distorted,
they can become legend,

treat them with care;

prefer doing to speaking,
there is more weight,
there is more substance
in action

Stress

anguish pulls at my chest,
it is a persistent tugging,
there is pain

what is born in the mind
is borne by the body

I know this
still I won't allow myself
to know peace

this flaw -
one of my many -
I would correct
by letting go
the weight of those cares
created by my mind
that live beyond my control

Self-Assessment

what will I find within,
am I even willing to look
beyond the first layer,
to plumb the depths
of my soul,
to take on the truths
living there;

what lies
have I allowed myself to believe -
have I told myself
in place of harder truth;

do I have the courage
to find answers
to unasked questions,
to stare
into my soul
