april 2015 pad challenge day 8: dare

dare to be alive

dare to walk
one step at a time

away from the
comfort
that's holding you
back

away from the
insecurities
that nightly
attack

away from the
sorrow
that once was
so real

away from
people
who won't let
you feel

be the one
who makes it out alive

thrive for eternity
if you dare

(do)
