and sometimes I think
it would have been better that way
to hide yourself until you understand
hold the shaking hands of vulnerability behind your back
because no one is fearless
in the face of discovery
I was brave: rock in hand
ready to shatter the sky
but you should bring an umbrella-
shadow yourself from crumbling pieces
or stay inside
listen to mom and dad's sweet story words
while you're still small enough for them to fall into your ears
