To be unliked was a chain
a chain of insecurity
a chain of anxiety
a chain of despair
a chain of fear
fear which dug deep into my soul
and took hold of my greater purpose
inside me
Hello.
This is for you.
The broken down
the tired
the weary, and damp.
Held down by questions of why
of who,
of how did my life end up this way.
I want to let you know that it's okay.
Be confident in yourself
Be fearless
Be respectful
Be a good friend to everyone
Be strong
Be kind
Be giving
But don't let people tell you what you can and cannot be
Health never lies in this time and age
With little to hide and memories that fade
Death and Life fight out in the day,
Waiting for something to ease the pain
Run away from fear.
Face fear head on.
Fear is like the ocean. It is huge and charging and all-consuming.
It will swallow you whole and spit you out completely different.
She dips her purple, sparkling toe
in the pool glowing blue
and waddles to the diving board,
steps onto its stage.
Her round, sunburned cheeks
Stop being a liarOwn up to your mistakesStop being a liar Don't you see you're a disgrace ? Stop being a liarTears falling down my faceStop being a liarYou're a manipulating slave
They say that
The most successful people
Do hard things
Even when they are hard
And they don't want to do them
But, they do it anyway.
I guess fear is there
Fear of an out of comfort
Fall into it
The rage
Anger pulsing underneath my skin
The sadness
Ripping into my dreams, finding home in my failures
The procrastination
