To See The Face Of Fear

Location

Fear

Fear, is what I am made of

Fear, is what I look like

Fear, is me

Take a second

Relax

Meditate

Clear your mind

Now picture, a young girl

A girl who, a girl who has no guidance

She has family, their love runs deeper than deep for her...but...

Without the necessary lessons that she should have gotten from her parents she is lost...

Define parents

To me, they are people who provide their child with guidance, unconditional love, support, and consistent affection

This girl, like any other cliché girl

Did not receive this treatment, not like how she thought she should

Take a second

Relax

Meditate

Clear your mind

Now picture, a young girl

The same young girl

She's 17 now

She's so consumed with fear she didn't give herself a chance to experience life

Define life

To me, it is when you learn lessons, make mistakes, and just live the life God gave you the best way YOU can

This girl does not know how to do that

She wants nothing more than to know what she wants, for HERSELF

She is so accustomed to depending on other people

Whether it be to choose what's for dinner or how she lives her life

 SHE IS TIRED

She is ready, has been ready, to live HER life for HERSELF

Take a second

Relax

Meditate

Clear your mind

Now picture, a young girl

Who is ready to face fear

And say "YOU WILL NO LONGER CONTROL MY LIFE"
