That person is you


That's what it means

To concede to the fear,

To feed the bearer,

To bleed from the wounds,

bestowed on you

from the pain you've taken

even the words you've spoken

to make it all better 

you made that choice

to be that person

to see that person

who is that person?

That person is you

Be the person

who takes the fear away

That's what it means to be that person
