Audacity Poem by Maya Hanson

Sometimes I have the audacity
to be a liar with a little bit of honesty
Sometimes I take what you give me
and hide it away

Secrets shouldn't be this easy to keep
Alone spills from my suffocation
but I pull apart knots, try to believe
in this everything

Sometimes I have the audacity
to be tangled and a little bit lonely
Sometimes I whisper beginnings
to keep you on my side

I'll pour the ocean in your cup
Safe has never been what I want to be
Every day is a victory, a battle
and I stand straight to face it

Sometimes I have the audacity
to be passionate and a little bit crazy
Sometimes I grab the steering wheel
and yank it off the road
