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

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
