Haiku Heights – Childhood

Port-42

Image via Wikipedia

I stood without words

fearful, like a mouse darting

Not yet knowing strength.

*********************

I proved them all wrong.

Mom said to the audience

I was too shy. No!!!

*******************

I lived the safe life

Protected, not encouraged

My own person now.
