A poem I promised to enter, for all to read. I hope you enjoy it

Do I dare to let this feeling go
Now that it has become a part of me
started to fill my entire being
And permeate my every action?

Can I leave this life behind
Knowing that I go alone
To where I have never been before
And where I might not find my way?

How do I drop this image of me
That has been all that others have seen
And all I have ever dared to show
Without falling apart and be unable to rise again?

Is there a way to chase away these fears,
to see what lay ahead in the shadows,
the mists that form the future
and brings this uncertainty to my mind?

I want to make it leave
And yet I do not fight it
I do not move away, insecure as I am
Though I stand restless, clenching my fists

Holding up appearance is hard
And it consumes my every thought
Acting calm is all that I can do
To steer my clouded mind away
But do I want to?

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Slyphian, in the year 199 MA.
