go out and play

project day 2:

my safety exists inside these walls.

i come out to join you inside yours,

but dusk calls me in each night,

inside my haven-- free of harm, free of fear.

but you invite me out to see the stars.

offering your hand, your smile, your heart,

i fear these walls can no longer keep me in.

and what will happen if i break free?

like the open desert, i am exposed.

no safety, no shelter.

but it's a freedom i can no longer resist.

these walls are coming down...and i can see the stars.

my hope exists outside these walls.
