Chance

I'm trying to stay on this side
of the line, where I'm ok. Where my
world is carried out in 3-D, not
the flatness of fear that allows in
only shadows so I know when to
run in my mind. This side with its
purpose, and warmth, and where
God might actually want me to
be happy, or confident. Where I
have a chance. I'm reaching from
just this side of that line, reaching
to hold on to that chance.
