Step of Courage

Dramatically the door burst open! It was as bright as day. May I step out of this this dark space? I have enclosed myself within. I have always dreamed of being, seeing what is on the outside. I learned to stay hidden in this dark room. The light of the door is warm, brilliant, thrilling and attracting my creativity. I sense a want, "to be!" I no longer wish to be hidden, Forbidden with no where to go. Out there, can there be fulfillment? I make my way to the edge Wedged between light and dark shadows. Blinded by the light, I look forward. I see no reason to continue Ingenued as a drone. It is my time. I will never know success Confessed without shining. My shadow is enveloped with the light. The world is shining through Brandnew; I know little of this place. I fear leaving the safety of my darkness. The risk is great venturing on Foregone with the past. Onward bound through the open door. I follow the light from here out About time I let my creativity shine!
