Fear

FEAR
Locked inside my mind. if only I could find the key. Instead I'm trapped in my misery. Free like a bird, I want to be. With Endless possibilities. but I've lost so many years. What keeps me here? FEAR. 
Afraid of the tears. 
Afraid to take a chance. 
Afraid of heartache. 
Afraid to be free. 
Afraid of the unknown. 
Afraid of being alone. 
Afraid of the unseen. And 
Afraid of the unheard. 
I am Afraid to be that bird.
