Jumping

I need a new way to move
This vehicle has failed
This caravan is too slow
I’ll miss my flight if I stay
I just take a chance
And move on without them
Change is desired, required
And imminent.

This man

I fear this part of me
The free one, the liberated man
Uncontrolled, free willed and too
Ambitious man
Historically troublesome, shameless ,
Embarrassing man
Fearless, fun, witty, and
Charismatic man
The other half me, man
To let him free
Would render my life at risk
I lack trust for this
Irresponsible man
The pain I heal now
From this man
I have regret from this
Man
I have resentment from this
Man
I have embarrassment from this
Man
I have freedom from this
Man
How to merge me with this
Man.
