the child inside me yearns for something more– a clue, perhaps, a sign, another open door–

the white walls surrounding me are falling like wavering petals– the world says keep them up, Why can’t you just Settle?

My restless mind looks through the windowsill and begs for the world outside– Go, now, it whispers, there is nothing here left to hide.

Be bold. Be brave. Put on a straight face and take the leap – what opportunities missed when fear runs deep.
