It can be hard to know your future
It can be worse than uncertainty
to know something wonderful
And something awful
Is going to happen
To know you are called to steer into the valley
So even though you've given me 200 reasons
even though you are worth 200 poems or
200 setbacks
I sit here with a piece of me cold
I stay with a part of me numb
I know I can't fight for anyone who doesn't want me to
But I'm scared
I'm scared I'm standing on the edge of a cliff I was free of
I'm scared you will notice the edge I'm strolling on and leave
I'm scared that I'm less of a bear hug and more of a snake embrace
