Falling into you
I close my eyes
like our children who fall. first
and ask questions later
i didn't dare before
out of fear
i'd
be dropped or overlooked
or criticized
for my approach
i just knew
it was a game.
And although i like to play,
i'm no good at games
where i become the fool,
a patron,
crisp ticket in hand
for the traveling show
calculated and set up
in the name of
tradition
without rest
where you are rewarded. for
earning a second guess
What kind of prize is that?!
When lives falter
where
money thrives,
the tasks
performed are.
not worth the cost
(though THEY will assure you they are).
Deny the they.
I gain confidence
each time I decide
to fall into you,
regardless of the rules,
regardless of the price,
for if you miss,
I'm still stronger
for trusting you.
