"And then Julie Andrews showed up, deer ate from your hand, and you all sang 'If I Had a Hammer'..."

Everything I've found comfort in is now foreign.
The adventure I've ever longed for now intimidates me.
What then, do I desire?
What do I hope to accomplish?

desire
accomplish
words so full of ambition
i dare not even define
let alone entertain

A dear heart asks, "Why was it hard?"
Seconds pass. The only answer; not fully formed, "I'm not ready."
"I know."

"Nothing wrong with my organs, this was emotional clap. I had to keep my heart to myself in case I infected somebody."
