It called you gently
To release your daily routine
Let go of your plans and your schemes
To build up all you don’t need
It nudged you softly
To face what you thought you could hide
To stare down your doubt and your pride
Some things first require you die
It kissed you quietly
Then walked you toward failure’s door
And pummeled fear’s face in the floor
And now you embrace life once more
