Self-Contained

I will stand at the threshold, 
Seeing what stands on either side.
Seeking to create a container.
A container with the capacity to hold,
Fear, love, anger, anxiety, dreams,
Beauty and pain. 
To hold it safely and without judgment. Even while the messages on all sides Scream,
"Take sides."
I have taken a side, 
It is the side of hope.
