Compositions

This Time

Before, my heart was caged. I kept quiet because I was taught to “keep my mouth shut.”

They were wrong, and that’s why they terrorize.

If they were right, we’d gravitate to the truth, complacent.

I may still fear – and every fiber of my being might quiver to hide and return to seclusion.

If it weren’t for the dogs, I could do so easily, and forget.

But, to provide stimulation for them, I put myself “in the lime light,” for they are interesting and of rare breeds.

So am I, but you never would have seen – until now, as my heart begins beating.
