oh
but what if i cant
what if i just cant let me go
to that place where i am ready
to become something else
i have sacrificed my children
my body
my breath
and my heart
my soul will not lend itself
long enough to pull on through
to what might become
one day later
when it needs every little thing
to just be where it is now
and how important is it
how important
to be able to let go
and jump
maybe there is a bridge somewhere
that is not as scary
and might just hold the weight of me all
if not i can always continue this way
without you

8-The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.
