to keep myself from running
i draw a line across the sand
and vow to never take a step
across this invisible wall.
i draw a line in the sand
because i cannot afford to break
over that invisible wall
flames begin to build.
because i cannot afford to break
i shed my fear and anger
flames begin to build
but we don’t wish for the same outcome.
i shed my fear and anger
in order to spark a change
but we don’t wish for the same outcome
and so i take a breath and move on.
