Fearless

scared sometimes of
my own strength
scared sometimes of
my own faith scared
sometimes of my own
confidence trembling
at the sound of my
own echoes roaring
like a lion...
fearless believing I
was born to do this
rising above
situations facing
them head on...
soaring high above
like an eagle
sometimes peaceful
yet above it like a
dove. 
the visions I bear
in in mind...

 
scared sometimes of
my own comprehension

scared sometimes of
my own labor
scared sometimes of
my own fruits
working day and
night slaving for my
dreams 
I am to afraid to
behold it in my own
heart 
too afraid to
believe it in my own
soul... 
I search for healing
and peace that can
only come from
solitude 
give me space and
time to understand
behold and conceive
my own strength
,faith ,confidence
,labor and fruits 
scared because I am
only human 
scared because I am
not made from stone
, 
scared because I am
not made from steel,

scared because I am
strong ,confident
,devout
 I am only human... 
...I fear my own
fearlessness
