Life? Life.

Crossing the Lines

Many people are afraid;

Afraid to go, dive, and be in too deep.

Afraid of getting hurt;

Afraid of being sick;

Afraid of others seeing their vulnerability;

Afraid of catching feelings;

Afraid of being sensitive;

And afraid of things that may or may not happen.

I once read the saying, 

"don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross a puddle for you"

But I realized,

What is not to love with life?

Why are people afraid?

And what makes people not be afraid?

What motivates people

To overcome their fears?

Then you came,

I realized then that 

I know for someone like you 

I would not hesitate

Not even a bit

I'll cross any lines

Just to get

To you.

People can overcome their fears.

By having someone worth it by their side;

By learning to deal with the pain;

By crossing oceans;

By accepting the vulnerability of oneself;

By not judging the power of sensitivity;

And by focusing on the present,

Not with what had been, what will be, and what could have been's.
