I Would Rather ...

By Justin R., Henderson, NV

     Fight the dragon with no sword or shield
Jump from Everest unready to fly
Beat the mighty waves back from the ocean shore
Evade a hailstorm of screaming bullets
Stand through raging winds
Cross thousands of frozen miles with only bare feet
Gather the stars from heaven in one swipe
Swim through oceans of blazing fire
Battle the massive Goliath
Gaze into the eyes of Medusa
Return to problems of the past
One hundred times over I would rather repeat these tasks
Than face my future
