Live a Little

 This month's poem was due today; the prompt was "little." This is the poem I submitted. 

Live a Little

The sturdy fence I built to guard my heart,

Went rogue and wrapped itself around my brain.

My thoughts imprisoned, snagged on barbs of fear,

Refused to free my soul to live again.

 

My stronger self took charge and fled the walls –

She stepped away from fearfulness and doubt.

She opened up the gates and took the risk

Of finding what real living’s all about.
