Un-Afraid

Over all the in-securing challenges
the unsettling pressures encapsulating the speed of life
time fades and loses its taste locked out here
but within I have no fear
because
upward I stare and steer over that gate of liberty outside of here
as the hope within
keeps me alive
and company as I have no where
to cast my glances upon


this barricading barriers and intimidating fears
within these walls of stagnancy and hovering barrenness
I find myself restricted and tied within
these challenges that last not forever
I am not at all intimidated
because time, dreams and hope never age
so do I endure all these painful stains without hating
but silently my hope clothes and feeds the burning remnants and embers of passions left
unexplored with love, power and the ideal message of music
surviving I give time its grace believing that that brand new packaged moment will come
to start living the dream that I have longed to see live
I am here unchanged that my dream will live out on the streets and that everyone shall
drink of its cup now and forevermore


because of these
I can assure you as I sit before you this day
haven learned, stronger and getting ready to be triumphant
I
am
      here
          unafraid…………..
