Embracing Your Fear

I’ve always been good at making an entrance

   never choosing to stay

 

I’ve always been good at passing through

most often forgetting the day

 

I bypassed adulthood, becoming a child

as your legions mocked and jeered

 

And answered those voices calling out of the wild

—embracing everything you fear
