I Am Scared

You think I'm strong But in my nights I cry and hide For I am scared You think I can Fight all my foes And live in light But I am scared This pain invades My sanity Sometimes i stumble and I am scared I did survive But don't ask how I am just me And I am scared Sometimes I'm strong But now I'm not Now I just cry For I am scared

I love vulnerability in others not because I enjoy seeing people suffer, but because in it I don't feel so alone. This was rewardingly honest and vulnerable.. wonderful poem Darren.

Simple, honest and effective. Only a fool is without fear, you have survived and learned to go on despite being scared.

I would be more concerned about you if you weren't scared. We are all scared, though not everyone will admit it. Scared doesn't mean coward, it means smart. We've got your back here, Darren:)

Heh, I hadn't looked at it that way yet. I felt kind of silly, having written that yesterday and posting it too >.< You make me feel less awkward :)

An honest expression of your feelings, Darren. Thank you for sharing. Writing is the best medicine especially mixed with faith, and faith you have. The fourth stanza expresses it beautifully...sending cyber hugs and healing prayers. Rhonda

You survived - it is a blessing. And YOU did it no matter how hard. So, now, when you wish, let us, your friends, help by sharing and caring. <3 (((Darren)))
