∴

 

i would,

but

i never thought myself
so big,

to be so brave,
to be so me.

 

i would,

but

i can’t be so sure
that what i know
i know
is true.

 

i would,

but

you all seem so much wiser
in these matters.

 

i would,

but for fear.

 

i would,

but what would happen if i did?

 

i would,

but

it might hurt,
to live life so fully and sane.

 

i would,

i would,

i will.

 

i could;

i wait

until.

 

∴
