When I Stepped Forward

- ~ < > ~ -

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

My brothers saw me as a runt,

their accentuated athleticism was quite a front.

I used to work so hard to get their attention,

and attain my father’s pretension.

I followed in my family’s footsteps,

but then I realized that I rather lead sheep in pastures, as doing this, I don’t feel overly inept.

Intuition settled in my chest,

it felt warm and familiar, the best.

When I saw the giant causing fear,

I tried on the armor and gear,

but my invisible armor was already on,

and I knew in my heart that this seemingly beastly menace would soon be gone!
