Stepping Out Poem by Alison Smith

I've stepped out from my safe haven
I'm accepting the buffeting of mankind
With each step I know Im growing
The seeds of doubt are falling on barren ground

Its hard for someone who seeks solitude
To force communication and crowds
Some days I'd rather be inside my home
Even though I enjoy the adrenalin flow.

Down the time line we must pass
Shedding and collecting as we go
How far must we travel before the journey is done?
