Analysis of Uncertaintiy
She who is trying to reclaim back her power, something that withered long ago
Bubbly as Moscato, sweet as a nectarine, and had a kick like red curry
Somewhere along the way along with her ancestors that version of her was buried
Like grasping for straws, she would reach for something for an instant feeling of something euphoric
Her serotonin boosted but at what cost did she pay for it?
The palace that she once called home was starting to crumble
While trying to grab the rubble that lies before her piece by piece
She didn’t realize that the weight she was carrying would affect her peace
Holding onto everything to place it back to where it originally was
Hoping for a miracle only hindered her growth
Even though she was petrified of uncertainty and which way the outcome would go
She took a deep breath with tears in her eyes, and fear in her gut and finally let go
