Fears Bondage
I put my heart on the line so many times,
I shared so much, I never felt the need to hide,
I viewed it as freedom to speak up and out,
I chose faith over fear more than anything else,
I watched fear debilitate and anxiety ridden,
Over cautious hearts believing it's wisdom to stay hidden,
All because they were scared of reactions and opinions,
They allowed their fears to dictate their decisions,
I didn't want to feel trapped by fears gruesome eyes,
I didn't want to live in bondage when I could see through the lies,
My heart ached to speak out, and stare fear in the face,
And vowed to God and myself ide never live that way,
And then of course, when you go against the grain,
You will always have some people who will say,
She shares too much, she's just seeking attention,
When they have no idea about her true intentions,
To care more, to free you too,
To break down feelings of fear so love will shine through.
