I used to be blind,
used to think that
the best way to live
was to build myself
a fortress…
Keeping others at
arm’s length kept me
from hurting, but I
didn’t know the feeling
of a caress…
And I’d rather fail
than spend this
life constantly sparing
myself…
It is time to break
free.
Time to live and
not just be.
To get out of my shell,
brightly shining.
To remove this straightjacket,
and spread my wings…
