Scared of opening my door, uncertain misgivings entering the world of self-disappointment
exchanged for opposed limbs.
Tempted to close it to start all over again. But what is it good for?
Your distant memory buzzing back, gnawing my head.
As we talk, deep down there is a resurgence of glimpses of timid bravery.
It’s calling for action. It’s calling for eruption.
Habits pulling me back. They want to chain me up, take me as a hostage.
Not anymore.
Unhinging and smashing the door so it won’t patronize me anymore.
Where do I go from here? Where do I go from here?
