Fear Overwhelms Me

The ocean

v a s t

and

POWERFUL

answers to no one

Who am I

but a single

drop

alone amongst the waves

I need to enter

Not for others

But for myself

Just

one

step

forward

Fear overwhelms me

Dark waters hide the mysteries below

What if I go down and don’t come back up?

Fear overwhelms me

Fear overwhelms me Fear overwhelms me Fear overwhelms me Fear overwhelms me Fear overwhelms

Me

Alone

Taking another step forward

My feet are wet

My breathing slows

The sun emerges

Another step

And another

The ocean may answer to no one

But that does not mean I have to answer to it

Fear overwhelms me no more
