Analysis of Rejecting Your Fear
I’ve always been good at making an entrance,
while never choosing to stay
I’ve always been good at passing through,
and most often, forgetting the day
I bypassed adulthood, becoming a child,
as your legions mocked and jeered
And answered those voices calling out of the wild,
--- rejecting everything you fear
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
