Escapism
Yesterday's breeze overwhelmed me. First reaction: Flee.
But I do not want to escape.
Fear wants me to think that that's what I need to feel free
From reality.
That I need a break.
Take a trip, watch a clip, go to sleep... so many options. Anything to pretend this storm doesn't exist.
But I want to stay and fight. Stay and learn. Stay and grow. Not run away.
So fear, I won't be deceived.
I've survived the rain and I've earned my stripes.
Perhaps it is YOU who should leave..
