don’t jump back
into who you were
stay a little
in this blazing openness
of love’s splendor
before you return
to your brittleness
don’t be so quick
to erect your wall
and block your self in
its easy to live in the familiar
but life with no wall
is the real life
come out of your prison
once and for all
and be your true self
don’t jump back
into who you were.
