Swaddled in the warm safety of protection
I attempt to squirm free.
Like a Chinese finger trap,
The harder I push
The tighter its hold.
I suffocate.
Yearning so badly for the straight-forward
I find myself lost in a corn maze of caution.
Like a horse with blinders
I've walked right past countless opportunities.
I just want to experience life for once
Instead of sheltering myself from the possibility
That it might hurt a little.
I'm sick of being seen as fragile-
A valuable packaged in Styrofoam
Labeled HANDLE WITH CARE.
I am NOT that important.
Give me the truth and I'm happy
Even if it breaks me.
Being broken makes you stronger.
I plan on becoming very strong.
