Choice
Beyond the cave
sunlight blinds
noise deafens
fear cautions
I hesitate
spirit insists
come out
stand free
be proud
move forward
(even an inch)
or die.

Dear Judy, I like the message you bring in your poem, don't hide for your fears but face them. It makes you so proud of yourself if you make progress little by little. I love your poetry style.
