“I cross the street without an arm to hold me back” — They Both Die At the End

 

Cross the street

don’t glance back

because walking in fear is walking

in darkness

 

Don’t let the world

hold you back,

fight inertia

add bumps and curves to the line

move with purpose

find your light within

believe you are strong

be true

true

to yourself

 

Cross the street

don’t look back

move forward,

carry on

take the next step

and the next

and the next

because holding still

and pretending

is

death
