Be strong, and
scare people
with the might of your spirit.
Scare people
straight.
Send them stumbling
right
into their own hidden truths,
as they run,
cowardly
from your reveling.
Live your truth
so loudly
that,
even in your silence,
others should find themselves
moved
to some new direction –
not previously considered,
before
your strength startled
their safety
in slumber.
