Analysis of Surrender To The Uncharted



Surrender To The Uncharted

My heart aches every time I think of you,
As crumpled as a rickle of soft wool merely hanging by a thread

Just as one lifeless soul on our precious earth,
I stand with trembling legs and dejected eyes

And a face as warm and pale as the remembrance of dry rays of sunshine,
Quiet like a burning candle with wax dripping down like tears,
From those dreamy yet clueless eyes

I light a fire in my once hopeless soul,
And let the sparks run through my fearless veins,
For I have decided to rise from the ashes of the fire that once burned bright

I stand strong with valour in my heart and mind,
Vulnerability as my strength unguarded by my thoughts, 
For I have decided to surrender to the uncharted

And now, I declare freedom to my restless musings,
As I finally close my eyes to dream of the infinite once again
For I have decided to be unbridled

About this poem

The focus is on the ability and the decision to fight back and let go of any bad or upsetting memory that makes you uncomfortable, something that has tied your whole life in a knot and hasn't allowed you to be as open and free as you can all your life.
