WEARY MIND, WARY KIND

"WEARY MIND, WARY KIND"

I've heard the door close too many times,

Too many times to count.

Opens for a little short while

Closes too quick like it never opened.

Sometimes it bangs shut

Almost coming off it hinges

Sometimes so quietly,

With only the creaks as prove.

These resounding thuds and creaks,

Got in the way of my peace.

So I kept the door securely locked,

For the sake of my sanity.

I wondered about the fate of the door

Will it stay locked forever?

Will these thuds and creaks continue?

Dare I unlock it again?

Only one way to find out

Unlock the door

Wait, and see its fate unfold.

On a leap of faith, I did.

And here you are,

Standing midway in and out.

You are not coming or going

Are you staying or leaving?

Reaching out but standing back

Offering and holding back

I'm just as excited as confused,

My emotions between forbearing and murderous

What are you waiting for?

Do you need persuasion?

Do you want a fight?

What a nerve!

I've got good fight left in me

But you have to know,

I won't fight a lost battle.

You should fight fair.

I'm not like that,

I won't get up and leave like it's nothing

I give whole, I take whole.

So what is it going to be?
