Fearless and Found
When I was younger, I was afraid.
At times, I struggled to come to terms
With what my fears even were
But I just knew that I was a coward.
I was scared of failure,
a
broken
heart;
being wrong.
Death made me shiver
I feared
taking the road that everyone walked passed
so they could get to
an easier route. I
was afraid not to conform because
NOBODY
wants to be judged.
It’s so odd not to fit in and I didn’t like
the feeling of being
ALONE.
Now I am older, I’m still afraid
But this time I know exactly
What frightens me.
Not using my full potential,
Not telling the one’s I love that
I
LOVE
THEM
every single day that I’m alive.
it scares me just thinking
of living a life where
I’m not learning everything
I want to know about the world.
I want to influence the young
To take the path less traveled.
It’s true I
was scared that I’d get lost
but now I am
FEARLESS and FOUND.
