Dare

a poem written in free verse

Jan 19, 2026

A deep blue background featuring a collage of Polaroid-style photographs. At the centre is a colour photograph of a woman smiling beside an older woman outdoors. Surrounding it are black-and-white and colour images of the same woman at different life moments, including sitting in a garden and working at a sewing machine. Handwritten text reads: “What if you dared to create your own way to all the places you dream going?”

What if you dared
to call yourself out to play?
What if you dared
to hold your hand and
love every step you take?
What if you dared
to imagine raindrops
washing away your tears
and tickling your smiles?
What if you dared
to forget the unforgettable
and find the magic anyway?
What if you dared
to create your own way
to all the places you dream going?
