Poem: Wall with a Tiny Door
Look at this wall, so strong I’ve built
Made to withstand every storm.
Smart was I, for I put in a door
A tiny door just for me.
Open or close, upon my command
This door only I can see.
This Dam of mine understands the rules:
-
Open when threat of flood
-
Open when fresh air needed
-
Open when safety assured
-
Otherwise, remain closed.
Afraid
AFRAID
I am not afraid of illness.
I am afraid of losing the ability to move around this world that I’ve yet to explore.
I am not afraid of failure.
I am afraid of being too scared to try.
I am not afraid of pain.
I am afraid of being too numb to feel.
I am not afraid of the future.
I am afraid of missing my chance to make it better.
I am not afraid of being forgotten when I die.
I am afraid of forgetting who I am.
I am not afraid of death.
I am afraid of running out of time.
Of missing one more day to show how much I love you.
