BrokenEchoes

  I’ve spent weeks getting ready Still, I am unprepared I failed to grasp the complexity I wasn’t aware of the intensity Of what we would be facing I have failed you We are overwhelmed Due to my lack of foresight But, here’s the thing If I had months or years The outcome would be the same This task is beyond me entirely This situation swallows me whole I don’t know how we should start I don’t see how we could prevail I am lost I am unprepared.

  I’m not comfortable there Never have been But I have to go I’ve put it off long enough I need to put it behind me Get it over with At least for a time I can do this I know that I can Because I have done it before I won’t be unchanged though This trip will leave its mark on me I am not who I was before the last trip When I return, I will not be who I am now But I must go I have put it off long enough.
