The Reluctant Firedancer

you yearn
for that intense love
that poets write about
that singers sing about
that dancers dance around

you are scared
to enter the fray of life
to give all your heart
to surrender your soul
with reckless abandon

you are shit scared
of being abandoned

get out, out there you fool
stand in the fire

stay in love
feel the agony
just be danced
by the dance of life
