what would you do if you weren’t afraid – v2

hearing these words again
the question repeated
for us to face the truth
each of us hearing the demons
the doubts named, each one, clearly;
“what would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
an answer different, separate,
for each one in the hearing, in the room,
but the question repeated
so it would be heard clearly.
So much of life, in waiting,
in hand wringing, indecision,
putting stumbling blocks
in our own path, in our own way.
“what would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
how many decisions, paths, lives,
would have gone the other way?
