do it. i dare you

you know what really gets me?
when youre in your little world, and I try
I try to reach out and just say, "hi"
but no. my heart races my head spins your world spins
too fast
on its axis NO ACCESS to your world
no bridge no walkway no crossing guard saying "it's clear! you can go!" no!
theres none of that between us
theres mountains and a huge barricade and a thick wall and a heavy door with a sign reading DO NOT ENTER USE THE NEXT DOOR but that door isnt there. not in use anymore
red lights flashing, screaming GO AWAY! GET AWAY! and my head agrees. it makes sense.
but my heart, my gut? now thats a whole other story.
theyre both screaming too but they say Go Ahead, Get Closer, Don't Turn Away, This Is Your Chance
A chance
to dance with a choice that you make
your choice
use your voice
but speak from the heart
this is the start of a dream that can be; let it be
open your window and scream the scream thats been waiting for too long to let loose and announce its inner dream
a scream from the heart that will start this conversation with a "hi"
what have you got to lose?
your loneliness? your worried thoughts? get over it, do something about it, and move on.
no need to climb those mountains, nor the barricade or wall
because love, yes love, simply love, can conquer it all
and those signs, the ones that said to go away? tell them to shut the fuck up and run the fuck away.
cause today I'm gonna pause that little world of yours; stop its rotation on its axis
because this stupid inner battle is making me sick
so I lasso my spinning head and step on the brakes to slow my racing heart
because I've decided that my "hi" will suffice as a start
