what she wanted nov 24, 2013

  

It is there for the taking

 the fruit hanging over her

 The whisper of the serpent

telling her it can all be hers

still she hesitates

all coming at a cost

 and still her fingers reach for it

to grasp that which she's always wanted

maybe a last chance

 if she fails to take it

she might never be able to do it again

 somehow it feels wrong

as if right and wrong actually matter

when it comes to fulfilling the dream

 what makes this one time worse

 than all the other times

the climb up to get the grip

 on the escalator to higher places

why is this scaring her more

 is there more to lose

 is there more to gain

will the guilt haunt her

even after she gets it

 that hamster brain thing again

and again why does she hesitate

 when what she always wanted

hangs right there like ripe fruit
