To Walk or Not to Walk

To walk or not to walk
That 'tis be the question
Whether 'tis be more courageous to plunge into uncertainty
Or to hold back in spite of good judgment
To face fate itself in disguise
Or to replace curiosity with safety
If thou were to walk it would mark a milestone
It would show thou belief in the future
As well as thou willingness to move on
If thou were to hold off it would show thou cautiousness
It would show thou patience and thou underlying will to progress over time
To step into the unknown
Or to summon patience and time
To open the doors to possibility and excitement
Or to let rehabilitation take control
'Tis the wound be stronger than the mind
Or vice versa
Will thou leg support thou body
Or thou mind
The true answer lies within
Be all thou wounds forgotten

I was skiing and broke my leg and wrote this poem while healing.
