Take Care

Stephanie-Rae Steiner

Be careful as you come into my life, as it’s full of tomfooleries and anxieties. You must wash your hands under my faucet of insecurities and wipe your feet on my rug of terrors. Enter my life on shattered glass and tiptoes. If you must, drink out of my fridge of doubts and eat out of my stove of panic. In my life, come as you are. Please take a bath in my tub of irrational thoughts and dry off with a towel of fake smiles. I beg you, give me honesty and trust to walk through my door of angst. If you are one for rule breaking, beware of the owner’s forgiveness, When it is given, it is given with warranty, and after thirty chances, warranties up. In my life, give me the understanding and empathy to walk on my carpets of disdain. When you enter my house of warm water and welcomes, I will try to Take care.
