Seeking safety I limited myself
Believing the perils of my mind
I burrowed deeper, dug underground
Secured restraint, I was bound to find
I was sure of pain, every step wrong
So submerged myself from the tide
I rooted down, anchored my own
Nestled in one spot, I tried to hide.
I felt doubt and confusion about my plan
But feared making any new wave
I queried past actions, every mistake
Thinking me lesser, someone to save.
My feet escaped as they longed to touch earth
And felt safe in solid company
My eyes beheld trees, received their green
Branches held me in security
I felt water moisten my dry lips
Nature's love was now my guide
Fire licked the air and warmed my skin
Lighting my path, wisdom by my side.
I could see there was no safety in the small
I had made myself hunter’s prey
The fear and pain that had consumed my thoughts
Had never been the warrior’s way.
