Embracing Your Fear

I’ve always been good at making an entrance
   never choosing to stay

I’ve always been good at passing through
  most often forgetting the day

I bypassed adulthood, becoming a child
  as your legions mocked and jeered

And answered those voices calling out of the wild
  —embracing everything you fear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
