Time to Step Outside
It’s time to step outside my dear
And leave your warm nutshell.
No longer can I protect you
But it is not by choice.
You must now meet the cruel, cold world.
You must know war and hate.
You must feel pain, it’s masked as love.
It’s not all that you think.
It’s time to cry and know of fear
And scream where no one is.
It’s time for you to lose your mind.
It’s time to step outside.
-Erica B. DiUlio
