The Cost

what would you give?

to know peace, to

know calm, and

joy

what would you give?

to never worry, to

breathe, and be

still

would you spill

your own hearts

blood? to soak

upon the soil

would you lance

your own darkness

allowing it to

drain?

are you willing to

let it go? to nod

at those thoughts

that malign as 

they pass

everything has its price.

Author's Note

The majority of my writing is confessional... Letting go, well - it isn't easy.

You poetically state a question that questions the soul's core...all this attainable, but at the cost of letting the destructive thoughts pass unattended. Wow.
