Playing on all my fears.
Drawing out all my anxieties.
Examining
who I am
in the cold light of morning.
Extricate myself
from the maze I’ve built.
The subtle twists and turns
that dead ended.
When I was a child,
I never had the knack
for solving
complex puzzles.
Fact is,
I just didn’t have the patience.
But over time,
I have learned
the value of waiting.
Taking my time,
slowly investigating the problem.
Set aside
the things that do not matter,
amplify
the core requirements.
Draw out the beauty
from what could be
otherwise debilitating.
Make it my own.
Let no stone
go unturned.
Finding a place
for myself
within myself.
Even if the world
cannot provide
that special thing,
then existence
is still imperative.
Fashioning a way
past fear,
through the anomalies.
Thrive in all of this,
despite all that might come.
Exist in Love.
Let go of fear.
Make a home here.
It only takes time.
Take the time.
