This Journey

Sit with me
And I'll tell you
about this journey
This road
That's full of
rocks and things
It will
make you
want to
run scared
But that shouldn't
keep you
from listening
It should
fill you
with intrigue
about all the ways
we scare
ourselves
into believing
we hold
no power
But, darling
our power
never leaves
It only
gets buried
by the hands
that fear
our strength

And the 
important thing
to recognize

is when 

those hands
become

our own
