        Once Upon Myself

Walking alone in the darkest light,
Something distant caught my sight,
Wavering slightly shimmering free,
Made me curious what it could be.

Anxiety plants a very squalid seed,
But curiosity spurs a greater need.
Bigger it becomes as forward I go,
Whatever happens I need to know.

Discomfort begins a faster pacing,
A pounding heart starts to racing,
Stomach churning just so queasy,
Why does this feel a trifle uneasy?

Apprehension colliding with fear,
Going forward bringing me near,
Relief sweeping over I finally see,
Just a reflection ... it's only me!
