To take one step
may uproot my senses
and cause unimaginable damage.
Yet, risk is fun,
something to live for
but
is it really to die for?
I don't know my boundaries
so I can not lift a finger;
I am incapacitated by my own thoughts.
Skin is not soft,
is not rough either-
so where does it lie?
It won't matter,
not in the end
so long as I hurt no one.
Breath, laugh, enjoy
the little progress each day brings
is something said to my minds eye.
Delicate and fear is nothing
compared to bitterness of losing out in life.

Prompts Up: Quote - Unknown author
I've been waiting my whole life
to go out there,
and explore the outside world
that I've always feared.
