We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Afraid
Afraid
A stowaway on the ship of life She fears independence Afraid of finding herself In a lifeboat Alone at sea Fending for herself Struggling to survive In a hostile world
