Certainty

 

Certainty is an illusion
For once you become certain
It escapes
Though an unforeseen crack
Which becomes
A faultline
Of imminent destruction

You claw at the ground
Searching
For answers
For security
For lost moments
To fill the crack
To make it right
To hold on

But holding on
Renders you
Powerless

Letting go
Is brave

The answers are not here
Nor there
Or anywhere you’re looking
Silly girl

Certainty is an illusion
You knew that
You let your guard down

So call off the search
Put your compass away
North is South
East is West
Stop looking
Let it go

Certainty is an illusion.
It is not where you will choose
To dwell.
