Is this really a good idea?
Am I jumping in
alert and
prepared
or carelessly running
tripping over my better judgment
into something
I should just leave
alone?
I expected difficulty
hurdles
frustration.
I probably should have expected
wavering
second-guessing
overthinking.
I feel a prodding
to do this
from outside of me.
But I need to make sure
my motives are good –
because I would
have to put
myself
out there,
but I don’t want it to be
about me.
