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)
