Something New
When I'm clinging to this cliff
it's funny that everything around me
changes
but I hold on to the ledge
afraid to let go
I see you leave
and he moves
and she goes
until I'm left
alone
dangling
grasping for some normalcy
some comfort
something consistent
and slipping
farther
and farther
down
but still holding on
hoping to stay in place
I hear you say
"Let go"
I hear him tell me to
"Have faith"
I hear her say
"Trust"
but that might hurt
more than it hurts to hold on
to this ledge
I remember how things were
I long for things to stay the same
(giving new meaning
the the epitome
of a creature of habit)
ambivalence is always present--
wanting to let go
yet holding on
and I realize that nothing is constant
only God is consistent
so I pray
and I remember
not to dwell on the past
so instead of thinking
instead of analyzing
instead of falling
I let go
to let God
do something new
