Choosing between Life and Honor

By BetaWolfinVA

tis nothing harder than
being inches from your dream..
and realizing that you must wait
else it comes crashing down...
.
there is no pain worse than
the pain that could be gone
if you were a person
of a little less honor
.
there is no worse choice than
the one between life and honor
where as japanese say
duty is heavier than death

    This is something that I can really relate to at this point in my life. Paying for the mistakes I have made, a vision of where I'd like to be but if I think it in more than a whisper it could evaporate. And as I'm attempting to get there navigating all of the road blocks. And it would be so easy to sink to a different level but for some that would be worse than not achieving the dream. Well put,write on!
