Scrapper
if you can't beat fear, just do it scared. ~ Glennon Doyle Melton
Anxiety stands with shaking hands,
beating Courage into the dirt and screaming,
what if?
what if?
what if?
Courage stands up again,
scrappy and bruised,
catches Anxiety's flailing fists,
and whispers back,
so what?

A Love Forboding
The chipped stone slope caused unbearable footing. I slid, skirting on my heels. I cast my shield, relinquishing my guard to stay upright. Left with my double-edge and a prayer to the maker, I skated toward my objective. The earthly stubble gave way to solid ground. I found myself restored, a trail of dust in my wake.
