Why do you deserve what you have
And more?

While the man outside begging
For his life
Deserves what he has
And nothing more

I want to look down from
Where I am on the mountain
Called life
And see
Everything I've conquered

And still have the courage
To look up
And keep climbing
Despite the fear of falling

I want to be free
as a child
Running though a meadow
With no fear of tomorrow

I want to fly
Like a ballerina
Leaping in the air
With no fear of landing

Where am I going?
Do you know?

If you do
can you tell me?
Because it all looks
Foggy from here

They say
On the road of life
The most important
Thing you can do
Is keep walking

I may have missed
The day when
This saying was said

Because I'm right here
Sitting
In the middle
Of the road

I try, I try
To get out of the darkness
But one foot is in light
and the other in despair

Why don’t I want to be
fully immersed in light?

Maybe I don’t want others
To see me stripped bare
Or
I don’t want to acknowledge
My own ugliness

I walk home in the
Dark of the night
From the school to my car.

Terrified I call my mom
And now I feel a little safe.
I think,
"Who's gonna hurt someone
Talking on the phone?"

Still it's not enough,
I look back
Every chance I get
To assumed my scared heart
That I'm safe.

The dimly lit street
Don't help!
The horror scene
In my head continues
To unfold.

Finally,
i get into my car
and drive home safely.

Maybe I need to
Stop watching thriller movies
Or
Maybe women's safety needs
To be taken more seriously.
