Confidence

Author’s Own

I wish I had the certainty of knowing

I was doing the right thing

Headed in the right direction

I think of others who seem to move

Plant each step that comes

Firmly cementing their path

And then I remember

Oh no I’m not meant to compare

Everyone is on their own journey

I get back to the task I set for myself

Organize my notes into one source

Delineating where to find what

As if I were drawing a map

But it’s too rigid to account for the sudden storm

Does not account for the impending hail

White pellets collect in my mind

How do I clear the rubble

When my hand hurts from holding the pen so tight

In frustration I pick up a book

Just like that I’m immersed in another world

Transported to another dimension

Finally my thoughts flow with ease

There is space in the room

I breathe more easily

Calmness guides me into knowing

It’s ok that life is uncertain

I need not know what comes next
