The Rope

April-22-20
I can’t help myself but hope 
but I know that this old role can’t hold me forever 
so I can ether let it go fall and watch the rope from the ground
or I can hang around for a little while longer
till someone pulls me up or the rope snaps taking me with it 
but I would rather keep my grip then just let go

Maybe I should let go of the rope
it’s old and it hurts my hands 
my arms are sore from holding on
And so what if I fall, I’ll make a new plan to get back up
the rope is holding me back 
why hold on to something that will never work when I can fall down and create a newer easier path for me to get up
just because I fall down doesn’t mean I’ll never get back up
it doesn’t mean I’ll sit at the bottom of the cliff wondering what if
it just means that I’ll have to try again
Should I continue to fall, that will make when I get to the top that much sweeter.
