Safe
You tell meIt's okay
And not to flinch
At every sound.
I sit in the dark
Feeling Blind and alone.
I'm learning things
I should have known.
I'm only okay
Whern you're around.
I feel def and numb
As I hear my heart pound.
Safe
You tell meTo have great poets there must be great audiences too.
Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
