Fight or Flight


In the storybooks, we hear about the heroes who fight the bad guy.

Implying that we must always fight back .

Must we always fight, sometimes I want to fly.

Or does that mean it is bravery I lack?

Sometimes winning is letting go.

Accepting and walking away is also a victory.

You brought me pain, you must know.

I win, I am happy.
