Excuses to Run Away

March 1, 2021

They are my moths I am their flame They are never far away Their whispering wings always so helpful Keeping the fear alive to keep me safe It's so easy to run Just pick one and go They'll still be there to tell me to keep on running

But the crackling flame says something else It reminds me all the reasons I have to push past the fear its quiet voice reminds me of dreams that can't be achieved unless I stay

So maybe this time I won't run away
