Boulder Hill

The truth… they say it hurts. i find the vacant moments when you can’t help but let the silence crowd your soul …the truth creeps in.
and here’s the truth of my current situation.
I don’t know where I’m going or what I’m doing. I don’t know who to talk to, or where to turn. my comfort zone has shrunk to a bullseye, and all my darts are dull.
How long has it been since someone really listened. really? it’s been too long. and making that moment change. starting the boulder down the hill. all those things are scary, because you don’t know where the the boulder will go.
so I stand. and push. and push.
and at the last moment on the brink of disaster, i realize that where I’m at is no different from what I can see at the bottom of the hill. and so I leave the boulder at the top of the hill and roll…
i should have seen the briars.
