The Price

The Price

A Poem by therisa
"

What 4.5 hours of sleep products.

"

Ever have a dream

Or a goal

Which other people

Have called you

Crazy?


I do.


Willing to abandon

a lifetime of memories

Starting life anew

From scratch?


I have.


Walked away

From relationships

And settle

In a new town

Not knowing anyone?


I have.


Toss aside

Your material wealth

And live

A simpler life?


I am.


What value

Do you place

Upon your life

If you deny your soul

A chance to shine?


Only you know.
