Dear Hurting, From Healing

Dear Daring

~~~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~~~

Poet's Note: When people look at the world, most of them see two types of people: the shy and the bold, but as I've tried to express in "Dear Daring", none of us can be confined to one of those boxes. We all have fears. We all have our 'comfort zone', where we feel safe and in control. But yet we all have that aching desire lost in the depths of our torn hearts, the desire for something more than the rut we've been stuck in for so long, and yet... we're too afraid to take the next step. But that's what this poem is for, to everyone who feels trapped by themselves, to show how we have everything we need to take on this world. We can never truly be safe, that's why we must remember that our strength comes from inside us. Something the world can never weaken... unless WE let it.

Dear Daring,

It's safer, secure,
Quieter, less obscure;
Soothingly pure in blue skies brightly clear.
Calm and serene,
Blissful like a dream;
All together unity, conscientiously.

Soft wings of a dove,
Like a parcel bound in love;
Resting as lolling breeze rises and falls.
Steady beat of your heart,
No clouds to tear apart,
Raw, true beauty circling all around.

From the earth to the skies,
To twinkling stars in the night;
In sail, no gale, shining as rays of life.
Comfort's blanket surrounding,
A bubble not tempting to popping;
A shield from sword out in the aura yet lurking.

Knifes locked on in the darkness,
But freeing is your ignorance;
When eyes lie closed the world seems ceased to exist.
Not worth risk's cost in escaping,
The road less traveled uninviting;
While wide and clear rests the path on which you're drifting.

As a flying kite in the clouds,
Refusing to tilt your chin down;
Danger and fear can still be gone if not found.
If you don't see, it's not there,
Stay here and you won't have to care;
Cause life's simpler when you can always prepare.

Defined lines of comfort zone,
Encompassed in what you know;
Afraid to step out and embrace the unknown.
Here is where things are in place,
Perfectly carved into shape;
Beyond's uncharted waters and you're so small in the waves.

The scars left behind,
Result of how failure's been tried;
Settles you on just averting your eyes.
Cause out of shelter, wind's strong,
And that's where things tend to go wrong;
Humiliation's another reason to run.

Observing even too much,
The first step to full depart;
And you won't be roped into what fear's blocked out from the start.
Smarter, that must be what you are,
Cause you're wincing as others begin to fall;
Protected here, but is that all that you want?

The world's big, you're just one,
Not enough to be of any help at all;
Stepping back must be your only true call.
Cause with effort, you only fail,
That's why you're now away from the warfare;
Retreat to gone, never return to the hail.

And as the bird's songs in your ears,
Melody gradually to less clear;
Something missing, but maybe answers you fear.
Trees rustle in reminder,
Even nature induces you to tire;
Cause in life's game not everyone's a survivor.

It's not a fantasy fairytale,
Not necessarily happily ever after;
Evil can triumph without awaiting chapters.
Good hardly ever succeeds,
So you'll stay where you can remain free;
For life's villainy ends in the hero's defeat.

This is why you don't dream of a leave,
This is the place of endless reprieve;
Where as it is is the perfect form of be.
Where what you want, you will see,
Where there's never a need to dream;
But Daring, you're ignoring all the possibilities.

With a chance, what could happen?
If you took a stand, moving the mountains;
What would swell if you just parted the ocean?
Cause dreams don't make you disappointed,
With none you are disappointed;
Daring, if you're content now, you have seen nothing yet.

Ignorant 'cause you haven't seen,
But Daring, the world's not as your trying to believe;
It's frightening but that's what's so motivating, inspiring.
Hardship leads into action,
Leaves no choice but to a reaction;
Living life on one endlessly long mission.

In generated peace, you are missing,
All that you should be receiving;
Hand in hand, with the world as you're soaring.
Cause out there, it hurts,
But that's only a reason to explode!
Take a step, Daring, leave your comfort zone.

A venture's required to accomplish,
And those who take it, they accomplish;
Ones left behind only dust over in hesitance.
Without a move, there's no chance,
But with a risk, there's a chance!
Daring, what do you gain when you won't change your stance?

Your bubble's ready for popping,
Go join the world running wild and flying;
That's where life grows more and more in a purposeful meaning.
Then you see that life you want to live,
That you're more fulfilled when you risk;
Cause why are you here if you're just to kick back and rest?

Daring, nothing ever is achieved,
When security you refuse to leave;
Push it aside and the true world you now see.
All the hurt, the suffering,
But how you can make a change admirably;
No loss of pride when you make the choice and you lead.

Emotions come with consent,
Letting yourself into your head;
Daring, weakness is when you choose to relent.
So shut it out and you're strong,
Heeding to your own kind of laws;
Not ignoring, but world lines you redraw.

There's no wrong in following your heart,
And Daring, your heart is where everything starts;
So open it up, but remember one special part.
The most innermost of you,
The definite, central truth;
Keep it and there's no need in fearing for you.

There is the pure comfort zone,
Not some worthless safeguard you call home;
It's inside, but not somewhere to hide at all.
So hold it close, but keep fighting,
Take new risks and know there's nothing you're losing;
Daring, your life's a song, so why aren't you now singing?

You weren't made for observing,
You were made to take a daring journey;
To kick and bite, full in warrior glory.
Out of the bubble, you're free,
But don't be intimidated by what you see;
Daring, life is pointless without dreams.

So you fall, get back up,
Trekking even when the going gets rough;
This road less traveled's not as dark as you thought.
You make your luminance on your own,
Which makes you unstoppable;
Play the game controlling the controllables.

Comfort, safety left behind,
As long as you're secure inside;
Trusting yourself, arms stretched out to the sky.
Relax but fight,
Daring and courageous knight;
Cause Daring-

It's time to let go and fight.

From, Rea
