She's a Wild Child
Shannon is a passionate individual whose feelings and thoughts tend spill onto the pages, often in the form of poetry and sometimes essays.
You're a wild child, stubborn and untamed
Always changing, yet somehow the same
Afraid to trust, afraid to love
Afraid to open up
What's the point of trying If you end up crying
There's no doubt about it
When it's too late to pull the reins and quit
Without your armor
You are forced to barter
Assuming your currency's the same
And everyone is game
Then comes the dreadful moment of truth
When there's nothing else left to lose
It's all already been placed upon the table
Has it all been real or just some silly fable
You took the chance, let down the walls
And tried like hell not to fear the fall
Now here you sit, still a little stunned
Even though you knew this day would come
Get back up and try again
Or keep it all reined in
The choice is yours alone
But you may never be well-known
So when you mend the broken fences
No matter what the expense is
Don't forget to leave the gate unbarred
Don't close off your heart
And remember you're not really stubborn
You just know what you want
