Description
You all glance sideways from your windows
Peak around corners
Tiptoe through your days
Never facing what you know is coming at you head on
Don't want hurt
Don't want mistakes
to look back and see nothing but pain
Dipping toes in the pool only to withdraw again
before even a ripple has been left.

Then it ends.
Pain avoided
but no joy remembered

Was all a dream
You never
'til now
woke up.

No way to change
Life is what you've made it.
turn your back
upon the wasted years.
Hoping another still lives
to teach what you can't tell:

Dive into the pool
Stare the beast in the face
Getting burned
getting frozen
Injuring, but learning.

With the regrets
you'll find a joy
Joy in daring to explore
In leaving your mark
your ripple
A fossil for some future being
to marvel at some day.

Having done your task
Awakened from the dream
to face reality
you'll find you'll face the memories
in peace
Not longing for what
can never be.
