Fearing Life

Life rages around Mindless of the amount of destruction She causes Life rages around And brings me to cower in my own shadow Shaking, as leaves do in storms Scared, as kittens are when faced with hounds Broken, as poets are when faced with harshness! Life rages around Stomping over me and over everything else Stomping over my fragility My unique individuality My self built fortress As if, meaning to have it accepted Once and for all That she remains the mightiest of us all! Life rages around And I, cowering in fear Can hear not, the sweet song emanating from the skies The same song that has been playing since the Beginning of times The same song that echoes in my heart The same song that resounds in everyone's hearts The same song aiming to have us empowered with faith So that, bold and strong We cower no more in fear of it! But then, the skies open up and hold out to me Their glowing hand And I, full of hope Can only reach out to these, hoping to be saved! But the skies remain mightier than life Instead of saving me They thrust me in the center of life's rages And I have no choice other than Stand up and fight With the same might As would a merciless battling queen do! Pray, life scares me But faith has enveloped me in such a way That though fearful I do dare and I do walk amidst its web As one so convinced of her own invincibility!
