Daring to be

A collaborative poem

I avoid 
the risk of misery
and observe from afar
always on the outside
slowly becoming 
a shell of myself

I birth 
the glistening tear
falling through the cracks
of the dreams and hopes
I shattered and broke
with my own complacency

I desire
to be the daring dandelion
the one who grows vibrantly
from dull concrete
and explodes into the wind
making wishes a reality

I seek 
to illuminate
the shadows
and live a different story
one where I am becoming
who I am meant to be

Please note:

sometimes when creating a collaborative poem, it ends up that even smaller fragments lead to a unified whole or that words and phrases call for further shaping and moulding. This is no reflection on the contributor. Instead, it’s a beautiful reminder that the creative process is always filled with twists and turns.
