My fear

My fear

It kept me paralysed

It told me so many lies

That life was not safe

And that if I took the risk to trust

My dreams would turn to dust

Or that soon enough

I would be struck down

Just like my sis

Yes my fear

It lied

It told me if I tried

To come fully alive

I would die

Or would be hurt

When the truth was that maybe

I would have learnt

More by enduring and suffering the scars

And taking the risk to open my heart to heaven

Under the stars

Crying out my suffering to the Moon

Knowing God would take it soon

If could just find the courage

To kick my fear to the kerb

And front the hell up

Keep on moving through

While hedding the stifling skins

That kept my true kernel of emerging life

Trapped within
