a fissure...

tiny line in my plan

small crack in the vision

didn't count on losing ground

...because of a fissure.

broke my stride for a minute

took longer than I thought

to regroup;

didn't count on failing my mission

...because of a fissure.

stuck my heart like a knife

took my mind off the goal

brought tears to my eyes

...and all because of a fissure.

dictionary defines it as

a narrow opening,

due to separations of parts

like the brokeness I feel inside my soul

breaking my heart, and

...all because of a fissure.

need to mend the tear

move on with the purpose

let go of the pain and

choose to see hope,

to see light,

to not lose all I have gained

... just because of a fissure.
