A Day Out

So very down on myself today.
Up for a small taste of freedom.
So I open the front door,
breaking the seal on a new day.
It's going to be hard to hide ,
in all that sunlight, so I put on my sunglasses.
Not to protect my eyes from the sun
but to protect them from the eyes,
of the outside world.
They are my security blanket.
Now I am ready so I must step outside the door,
in one quick bound.
The same way you dive into the cold water,
to get used to it all at once.
When I feel it is safe, I remove the sunglasses.
Sometimes then, I am rewarded
with the most beautiful gift.
To look up and catch the eyes
of a small child and then to smile at them.
And in their eyes I see the light of innocence,
and it cleanses and soothes my weary eyes.
And then they smile back at me,
and suddenly I am someone.
I am alive.
