I’ve been afraid for so long.
Hiding away.
So many worries and fears had surrounded me.
Scary thoughts still creep up on me.
But I feel a calm like never before.
I just know I can never have it all.
Unless I step into the light.
Leave the shadows behind me.
Many of these fears weren’t even mine.
Like restless spirits, they’ve been haunting those around me.
I am letting them go.
They can no longer hold onto me.
We will meet again with some of them.
And new ones may show up in my life.
But I want to remember, always.
I came fearless into this world.
