When I was a kid i could go out into a street and dance in the rain Even with eyes watching, I flailed my arms round and round until I was too dizzy to stand and eventually, fell into the dewy grass Without knowing the effects of lightning instead, would pound my feet to the crash of thunder I can't recall when I noticed they were watching how it pulled the road from under my feet and left me in the pavment How I cared when they called me crazy How they made me afraid of the lightning How the fear kept me inside staring out from my window When life became a cabinet with a plate, holding ten other plates on top of it how it all seemed so unbearable I was fourteen when my pessimistic state of perception was shifted All it took was one wise man and a sentence to crash the fragile system of fear: "everything beautiful has a consequence" he said "you just have to brave enough to face it".

sorry I know, the tags look cheesy but if I put a lot of those tags sometimes people actually read my poetry. just know the cheesy tags bother me as much as they bother you. I hope you enjoyed this poem though. xoxo -Tori
