My World to Wonder

I work and I think,
I act and I wonder.
I speak and I love,
I hate and I'm silent.
I move and I try...

I stop.

I give in.

I succeed as I heed.
I move no more forward
than I'm prepared to reverse course.

I'm timid and rigid.
I flex not for fear of breaking.
I am hesitant to thoughts not complacent.

I am afraid, not for what I don't know,
but, for what I understand.
