stare

I can stare evil in the face
look down on death with nothing but a smile
and smirk in the luxury I parade around
that my youth prohibits me from fear

it’s not a cockiness
it’s a belief in control
domination over the fears that lurk from the days of closet monsters
I’ve emptied that closet long ago

It’s what some say is necessary to succeed
in the business world
the scary thing is I have those skills.
Life is now staring me in the face.
