Inside the fences is where I stay.
The anomalous is feeding my fear;
however, curiosity smiles in a sneer.

I know the hurdles will be vigorous.
Yet I keep going.
Every wound, scratch, and bruise
makes me breathless.

The obstacles dilapidated my ebullient.
Should I continue or surrender?
My mom told me I have a strong heart;
then my pace starts accelerating into a full rush.
