Too Much Dancing

What causes me to be so irrational at times...?

In so many instances when my life appears somewhat stable, it seems as 
though 
I deliberately take flight without considering the consequences of my actions.

I trip.
I fall.
i regret.

Perhaps I should stop behaving like a kid, training myself to confront my fears 
courageously rather than running from them.

I do realize though, in part, that my apprehension occurs because I fear rejection 
from being bruised so many times;  however, much chaos could have been 
avoided had I learned to control my passions, not only sexual, but in the general 
sense as well.

I "feel" everything too deeply and discover myself breaking down and crying for no 
apparent reason.

Damn...my passion...raging...hot...forever present.

So, once again, i pick myself up and allow the black and blue to heal while 
determining, quite adamantly, I might add, that I will no longer be a prisoner of 
fear, for he proves too destructive.

After all, we can't dance all the time.
