I was looking for this poem since yesterday morning...Thought I'd never see it again. Anyway, I wrote it Summer 2004, when things were just plain awful. It was the bit of advice I was aware of, but couldn't bring myself to listen to. Now, I think I've finally heard myself speak.

Bridge

I'm standing at the start
afraid of come what may
I know I must continue
or face this each day

I'm standing one fourth in
knowing I could turn back
I know I must continue
or courage walk never be in tact

I'm standing halfway through
no turning back now
I know I must continue
I'll make it there somehow

I'm almost to the end
too late to stop and run
I know I must continue
or I'll miss out on the fun

I'm standing at the end
the bridge behind me falls
I knew I could continue
or else I'd lose it all.
