Living on a Teeter-Totter

Shadows ripple

In a sea of doubts and demons,

Creating the constant threat

Of light vs dark.

Doors that stand wide ,

In all directions,

Become the anti-Carroll hall.

Endless options and entrapments

Line the veiled future.

To say to "go with instinct"

Is as fruitful as saying,

"Pick the red ball,"

In a sea of red balls.

Which is the correct one

And which will you regret?

Forget the balance.

Forget the safety.

Forget the anxieties.

Just live for you.

Live for moments.

Live for now.
