"TO DO NOTHING" an original poem

Sep 1, 2018 by noobsmoke13
a poem on inaction...

how I fear sunshine, as I
shrink away from the sound
of the truth, yet again
I find myself
alone
still you sing
as I vacate our home
how I wish that you
would show me
my faults
for my eyes bleed
and my fingers tremble
at the very thought
of standing next to you
for you are so much better
than this rusted carcass
I have called home
for so many years
and so many nights
I have sat
upon the fence
unsure what
to believe
to believe
is to lay
myself on the line
believe me
when I tell you
I am not ready
for such a choice
let us sit in obscurity
under candlelight
making plans, to do
nothing
how I fear facing
an open door
how I fear expectations
my feet on the floor
things are changing
leave me, please
just leave in stone
maybe I have
no problem
sitting in the same place
my whole life
'cause I have no
hope
ain't no way to
cope
sitting at the end of a
rope
I am a fake
I swear I'm a
hoax
how the hell
do I show them
I mean what I
wrote
I need to do
something
I had to do
nothing
you give your love
don't hurt your son
I ain't the one
I told you that I ain't the one
pride in my veins
it hurts just to speak
how I fear the rain
feeling so unclean
it ain't me
it ain't me
how I fear
what may happen
if I
do nothing.

[COMMENTARY: This poem is all about a strive for perfection but a fear of change. Staying in the same place your whole life is comfortable but one can't help but fear they will be trapped in obscurity. As someone in a bad financial situation, I am terrified of staying in the same place my whole life but at times change can be scary. The other half of this piece's meaning is a religious one. "Don't hurt your son" is a feeling of being unworthy of the sacrifice given by Jesus. Of course, I think those who are not religious could still understand the meaning. You feel as if you are unworthy of all of the time others spend on you, as friends and family and mentors. You feel as if their work as been wasted because you feel trapped in this same position you may never escape.]
