Uncertainty

In the midst of following directions

I find myself in unexpected situations

Do I trust the hand that guides me

Or does it lead me astray, harmful and unkind?

 

I question the director and their intent

Do they have my best interest in mind?

Can I trust myself to evaluate the truth

Or am I blinded by doubt and fear?

 

I scan the room, looking for clues

Who holds the power, who is in control?

Do I see fear or helplessness in their eyes

And what scenarios have I overlooked?

 

The weight of uncertainty bears down on me

As I grapple with the unknown

But in the chaos and confusion

I search for the answers I seek

 

I am determined to find the truth

To decipher the waving arms and pointing fingers

To understand who I can trust

Amidst the tangled web of deception and doubt

 

I press on, seeking clarity and understanding

Amidst the turmoil and the unknown

For I refuse to be blinded by uncertainty

And I will uncover the truth that lies within. ("Uncertainty") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
