It’s not insanity

to use the healing of

your wounds

to refresh your soul.

You have every right,

no~an obligation

to yourself

to take everything

in your heart

and hold it close

as you fling all you are

into the unknown,

throwing your arms open,

defiantly sharing your light

ready or not.

It matters not at all

that your knees knock

and your hands

tremble.

What matters

more than anything

is the courage it takes

to try.
