The Price

A Poem by therisa

What 4.5 hours of sleep products.

Ever have a dream

Or a goal

Which other people

Have called you

Crazy?

I do.

Willing to abandon

a lifetime of memories

Starting life anew

From scratch?

I have.

Walked away

From relationships

And settle

In a new town

Not knowing anyone?

I have.

Toss aside

Your material wealth

And live

A simpler life?

I am.

What value

Do you place

Upon your life

If you deny your soul

A chance to shine?

Only you know.
