"The Collision" Inspired by The Last Goodbye:

The Collision

This is it,

the moment a piece of me

always knew I would encounter.

I’ve insisted,

to myself and others,

that my fear is in the past

and rules me no longer.

My desire to believe I was

no longer under fear’s control

tricked us both into a false confidence

that we could move forward

unencumbered by the past.

But then I saw you

and fear boiled over.

I had just been ignoring the signs

because I didn’t want it to be true.

This is the moment

where fear and desire to overcome fear collide.

I can run away in fear

or run to the desire to overcome it.

Either way,

everything is different from this point forward.

This is it.

The moment of choice.
