Connect

Like hanging onto the edge of a cliff
Grasping tightly, fingers bleeding
So afraid of loving only an idea
A concept, if you will
To fall in love with love
Is to be miserable
She said
He said
They said
So she set off on her own
Down a broken road
To test her boundaries
To test her will
It was then decided
Independence is a necessity to find happiness
And happiness was found indeed
In the most surprising of places
Having naught to do with what they had said
But with a willingness to live
Unafraid
True bravery is hard to come by
It means standing up to those
That let you down
Being honest when it is more dangerous
Than the white lie that could easily be life's cover
Taking down the mask to let people see
The wreck that may be inside
Dance
Scream
Run like someone is chasing you
But with joy in your heart
Quit searching for a purpose
It can find you
It knows you already
Connect
Like legos
Like puzzle pieces
Like the entwined fingers of two who have fallen in love
Connect
She reached out and found two hands
That firmly grasped hers and said,
"I will not let go."
