"Untitled"

"Danger, watch out for it!
It's a bad mans game for those who risk their life away."
"What's life without risk?" you say
"Dangerous" he say. "Scary too."

But it was nightmares, and awakening from them that ushered me into my parents bed, their sweaty smoldering love would not have intoxicated me with that feeling of safety and warmth were it not for nightmares, were it not for the existance of that which is considered scary.

Therefore I detect no evil in a situation where I find myself
Scared and lost.

And so now,
I am scared and lost by accident, (not by design for I force nothing.)
I am humble sheep lost in ghetto streets by misadventure.
My enthusiasm to travel beyond my limits brought me here,
to Fear.

Make sense of it now that I'm so near.
The option to panic and become a nervous wreck is not viable.
I was not made to be weak and faltering.
Make sense of this danger now that it's so near to me.

Find the parents bedroom way out of this danger.
Find the comfort in this situation.

Instead of crying, look for the patient solution.
Instead of dying, read. Read. Read!
