Afraid No More

All my life,
Full of strife,
Stressed,
and Depressed.

My smile hidden from my fears
and covered by tears

You always treated me bad
And made me sad
But not today,
No longer trapped in my dismay

Today I'm gonna say how I feel
And now I can finally begin to heal

No more hiding my emotions
No more taking you rude notions
Deal with how I feel, like I did for you
And then you will know what it feels like too
What it feels like to not matter anymore
And then, you will find, that soon, you will be afraid no more
