New Begining
Jan2012
By Sashi. Prabhu (ZEAUOXIAN)
I am not afraid any more,
I am not afraid any more.
I have cheated my fears alright,
I have broken up with my doubts uptight.
I am not afraid any more,
I am not afraid any more.
I got engaged to my faith last night,
I married my dreams at the sight of first light.
I am not afraid to get up today,
I am not afraid to wake up to another day today,
I am not afraid to open my eyes and see today,
I am not afraid to climb out of bed today.
I am ready to walk into the gardens in the heavy rains,
I am ready to open my nose and smell of mud from wet terrain
I am ready to face the world all alone,
I am ready to do anything to walk up the stepping stone.
I am ready to say anything to anyone,
I am ready to talk to anyone under the sun.
I am ready to yell from mountain tops,
I am ready to dive from ravine drops.
I am ready to walk for a cause,
I am ready to run to protect environmental laws.
I am ready to touch taboo objects & subjects
I am ready to work on regressions of y on x
I am ready to understand tangled issues,
I am ready to wipe all tears with tissues.
I am ready to taste tropical fruits,
I am ready to chop, boil and eat bamboo shoots
I am ready to jump out from a moving truck,
I am ready to pull my allies from loads of muck.
I am ready to be creative again,
I am ready to write and spill out my joys and pain.
I am ready to sing and hear my own songs,
I am ready to correct my own wrongs.
I am ready to throw a stone afar,
I am ready to play my own music for all with the door ajar.
I am ready to write notes about me,
I am ready to put them up for all to see.
I am ready to whistle whilst I walk down the alley,
I am ready to bring out tunes and them create verbally
I am not afraid any more,
I am not afraid any more.
