THE GAP

By Adora Rangitoto

There is a gap.

A gap that sends dissonance through my mind

- only when I’m quiet, when I have a moment.

Letting me know that I do not know.

There is a distance between my desires and my actions,

I do not know how to be who I am…

I do not understand the hesitation;

Always one step behind myself,

Refusing or unable to step over the gap, into myself; to experience.

Understand a place, and you may understand yourself.

I’m going to a new place

- I hope to bridge the gap.
