To My Fears I Say, Goodbye

In the glow of your blue eyes, A spark ignites the sky With laughter, warmth and grace, You light up every stage Thank you for your gentle heart, Inspiring me to play my part Your smile’s a shooting star, You have changed my life, Just as you are Dreams take flight with your warmth near, You’ve embraced my dreams, and my tears, And every time your spirit falls, I’ll hold you close, ‘till you feel whole I know I sought precaution, Against all I could not understand Yet you healed me as the blizzard, Threatened to break me down You stood still in the limelight, And held a spotlight, On what I thought were tears I love you, I love you, I love you And this is my song for you, dear I run away from my problems, Too scared to step onto the stage I wrote my song for you, Let it within your heart play And you, spoke my words through, Your smile, and eyes I feel electrified, By your words, so kind You taught me to stand by, All that I believe in, And through your kindness, I am noticed, A new me you created I wrote this piece to say thank you, In your kindness I’m alive For the moments of love, I am gratified I feel like I’m an actress, I speak my truths through your words Within your eyes, there’s a comfort, As you change my world I will stand by, the spotlight, And state my monologue tonight I’m through with short “goodnights,” To my fears I say “goodbye” ‘Cause together we change all laws, Left unbroken Unteach life’s wars, Reignite integration You have taught me to heal, From what’s caused my erosion Ascension derives from strengthened emotion, You made me the girl I was meant to be, And what’s played out on TV, Is not all of you I remember, please Let me state my case, with ease, You set me free I am through with short “goodnights,” You have more than brought to life, To my fears I say, “goodbye”
