unknown

i sit
i stare
i laugh
i cry

what happens next
i dont know
what happens now
i dont know
what happened then...
i still dont know

i run forward
full force but timid
timid of where my foot lands
timid of where my foot is

timidity is wrong though
so i run hard
it wont stop me
yet i still long to know
to know why

go left
walk right
bow down
stand up

i must do
but i mustn't question
i must meditate
but i mustn't think

easy said
hard to do

do
don't try
leave
don't stay
win
don't lose

already won
but still must run
race still going

tired
but rested
unknown
but peaceful
scarred
but healed

all that matters is known
yet
minds chase

understanding wanted
understanding of why
whys aren't for me

running is for me
tiredness
each step
becomes rest
peace

all other things
i must leave
unknown

Beautifully written! I love free flowing verse, it really captures the thought behind what is being said. In the unknown is where we must trust God the most. I like that you said easier said than done. I'm thinker too, and it is hard to not think, so I try to refocus the thoughts, make them line up with God's word. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Thank God for His mercy.
