What if I hide?
What if I hide behind..
What if I hide behind something...
What if I hide behind something smaller...
What if I hide behind something smaller than I am?
What if I can't hide...
What if I can't hide behind...
What if I can't hide behind something bigger...
What if I can't hide behind something bigger than I am?
What if I keep my eyes open?
What if I keep my wings unfurled?
What if I stop the thundering herds of fear from keeping me from the sky?
What if I learn to be grounded and in flight all at once?
All at once.
