Training Wheels

Posted by Terrence Johnson

Safely secure
The assurance that danger is diverted
Falling is nearly impossible
Confidently peddling at rapid speed
Laughing and enjoying every minute
Turning the handlebars
Steering in varying directions
The training wheels create a dilemma
Causing a false sense of control
Never fully being free
The training wheels offer support
The lack of them grant freedom
Emancipation
Only two options
Take control and ride
Or fail to take control and fall
But for once a decision was made
Without the safety of training wheels
For security
