My safety

My safety

My safety

All my life

My safety

Has been paramount

In all that I have decided to do

To think about

The question

Is this safe

What has my safety gained me

What has it cost

My safety

Has placed me in places

Where I have limited

My access to life

Risk aversiveness

Is not always the wisest of conditions

Safety is important

So is risk

Most so though

Is living fully

To fully live

Giving oneself completely

To living

Beyond fear

Experience

Living

Beyond

Simply

Being

Alive
