Stepping Out Poem by Craig Piercy

I stepped back out today
Back into my world

I felt that I had hidden myself away
Wanting to stay, hidden away
Until I could handle the day

Now I can again, I now need to stay here, without any fear
You see, I had a fear, a fear of being left here in this place

I need to set my own pace and do it with grace
My hearts been under strain, some pain

I would have it no other way
Because I absolutely believe that there is everything to gain
I want to remain

So here I am, it's a feeling of coming home again, into my world
This space, this place is my world

It's a calming place, brings a hugh smile right back onto my face

I stepped back out today
