I know that I know.
But am not at this stage ready to admit to it. I dither and sit on my thoughts.
But it is all there in front of me like a road map imprinted in my mind, in my head.
I live with it, daily.
I know that I know.
I have to take the plunge.
End the relationship, quit that job, move flat, have a new hair style.
I just can’t yet admit it to myself in so many words
In words that have a meaning.
I know that I do know
But it is not courage that I lack nor the bravery of a soldier going to battle.
All I need is having my thoughts in a row and my actions organised.
The despairing fright of a new start admitted to and accepted.
I need sleep and a walk,
I need an ear to listen to me and to help forge a way forward.
I know that I do know
What my next step will be but how soon and how quickly,
It all will happen is out of my remit.
