Strength without Fear


Fear of your mind and the way it shuts down at the thoughts that are memories of the past

not a broken heart, teasing at school, but at home where you so young of an age were supposed to be safe

Fear of what is to come and never trully wanting to be happy in fear of dissapointment of being close to anyone

Getting home from school and hiding from your own brother blood and flesh same mother and father

That fear of the hole in your chest and having to gasp for air coming back again

the fear of never being proud because of what hes done how could anyone love you?

That and the fear has turned in to strength

The strength to overcome

The strength to know you are a survivor and no longer the victim

The strength to climb mountians and breath again

The strength that every day makes predators driven to fear

The strength not only with your body but spirit and mind as well

I have that strength but without fear the strength i have would never have been found and made unbreakable
