afraid as I know He loves us one and all and to this
earth we are only on loan
      We have spent all our lives here with family and...

Afraid To Be - Ode To Emily
The day goes -- 
     but I do not 
The west wind blows 
     and I am still

I'm free to fly
     but I just watch
Thoughts of why

Premium Member Why So Afraid
Oh, why must you of love be so afraid?
To hide behind the wall of broken dream
For once your love was callously betrayed
And now you will not bathe in passion’s stream

I wait for time with truth to curse that lie
That faithfulness illusive must remain
You think, unloved,...

Be Not Afraid
The mountains and hills shake at His tread,
"Resurrection is nigh", He calls to the dead;
The moon in the heavens grows pale at His wrath,
The sun of the morn disappears from its path.
God of the universe, maker of all,
We ask for your mercy, at your feet...

Afraid To Fly
Life spins out of control…
today I slip into oblivion, floating without roots
over the sun, slowly turning from all I can see,
spinning against the wind, against the earth.
When do I fall?
               ...

Premium Member Don'T Be Afraid
Forever is just a state of mind
True happiness is yours to find
Reach out for life. Bathe in the stream
Don't be afraid to dream.

You will face Hell and feel distress
Emotions swell. Do not suppress
When it seems too heavy and you wonder why
Don't be afraid to cry.

Go...

Not Afraid To Say I Love You
Just thoughts of your sunset eyes

slowly drifting off to dreamland

excite my senses sending

soft tickles throughout my body

those ruby red lips whisper

sweet lullabies putting an

 ease to my muddled mind.

tonight my heart smiles

kissing your soul as it

enters places never touched

never allowed to be touched

and I am...

Premium Member Don'T Be Afraid To Be Different
*Don't Be Afraid to be Different*

~Don't be afraid to be different!
Do be afraid to be the same as
everyone else~



I have never understood this insane passion!
But I see it everywhere.
People selling out their souls and
principles like cheap underwear.

Anything. Anything to be loved and accepted. 
Have you...

Premium Member Who's Afraid of the Dark
Oh mother, dear mother, come make my bed,
for the sun grows tired and has lost its shine;
come bless the place where I will lay my head,
surround it with angels, all that’s divine.
~
Oh mother, dear mother, come bar the door,
count the slow clock's chime as shadows...

Angry Afraid Alone - the Story of Her Life
Thoughts of suicide running through her head. 
Feels like she’s at the edge of a cliff hanging by a thread. 
Want to so badly escape the reality she faces. 
Even when she’s with people she still feels outta place. 

Angry. Afraid. Alone, she stood out...

Don'T Be Afraid of the Dark
in the dark
the darkest dark
with not but stars to see
where there is nothing
more than me
in this grain of sand
my soul fly's free...

Afraid
Uncertainty has been clouding my thoughts for months now
Because you have never once 
Expressed how you felt 
After I blurted out those three little words. 

You have yet to tell me, 
Your feelings,
So I can move on.

Your jealously annoys me. 
But your touch teases, yet...

Afraid of Love - For a Friend
I understand 
Truely I do 
You forget dear friend, 
I am in fact like you. 
I was once afraid, 
and if truth must be told, 
I continue to be afraid, 
even as my Darling and I grow old. 
We each have our own hopes, 
and...

Fear
When I think of the things I'm afraid of,
All of my fears and worries flood my head,
Their screams steal my focus from things above,
Some mornings I cannot get out of bed,
Panicking as I look for a way out,
Acting confident as I go about,
Nobody ever knows...

As dusk sweeps away the afternoon sun
The skies will grow gradually dark
Perhaps some glittery stars strewn about
And the moonlight’s...
