Scared
The sun goes down and the moon goes up.
The night is here and the stars light up the sky.
I don't feel like I am lighting up but I feel afraid.
Afraid to be me.
Afraid to be happy.
How can overcome thse fears when it has always consumed me?
Pain and nervousness take over my body as I let the fear look me in the eye.
I then push it away from me.
For my light is now shining brighter because I have just faced my fear.
