The Sound of My Melody

I wish I could spill my secret but there's too much at risk. 

But isn't life about risks? 

Maybe, though this is more than a game of Jeopardy. 

So what do I do? 

Do I keep going from day to day living with this hidden confession buried within my chest? 

Or do I unlock this burden and swallow the key? 

I can't decide with Fear yelling in my face. 

And when I try to yell back my voice is lost in the sounds of questions. 

"What if it doesn't work?" 

"What if it's true?" 

"What will happen if I try?" 

So I come upon a T in the road. 

Do I go right? 

Or do I go left?

I turn to friends but they are no help because loyalty is usually conquered by gossip

So I stand there...in the middle of the road...hoping...praying I don't get run over by Opportunity

If I decide to go right great experiences may lie but heartbreak could be lerking under the bridge

If I decide to go left I may avoid a disaster or turn away from what is most longed for

I wish there were signs to direct me to a path worth choosing

But there aren't.

There are only signs of confusion.

I ask myself why this is so hard

This shouldn't be that big of a deal

But it is.

Why?

Because it deals with matters of the heart

My heart doesn't want to be another face on a totem pole

It wants to be a rose among thorns

A melody among sounds

A note among chords

So is the road to the right worth it?

Is it worth the consequences that may lie ahead?

There's only one way to know.
