Fear No More
I yearn to break free from the life that I'm living.
I am not trapped but am whole heartedly forgiving
Of myself because my mistakes held me back, so.
I try to move on but as much as I grow;
I'm held back by my worries, my fears, and my doubts.
Just trying to maintain and deal with my bouts
Of anxiety. I always let it get the best of me.
Well not always, but it's always the test of the
Life that I live; the path that I follow.
Just ignore it, they say. I can't so I wallow
Relishing in the I can'ts and the I trieds.
Trying to fool them with my confident strides
But I won't do this anymore. I need to be better
Than who I am now; no matter the weather,
The day or the week or the year.
That's The Power of Now, not living in fear
Of what I don't know. I need to fulfill
Who I'm meant to be or my spirit, I'll kill.
I don't mean to be this way but I mean to change
To better myself. I don't care that I'm strange
Anymore.
