"For you, a thousand times over" <br /> - Khaled Hosseini


We’ve been at war 

For a while and 

I hope to call peace with you now.


I hope to get to know you

So you can protect me but also

Know when to let me go and 

Let me get a taste of what 

It’s like to be wild. 


I hope that you’ll give me

Your key to my house so you 

Learn there are boundaries.


I hope you know 

I won’t be another 

One of your conquests,

But I will be your friend. 


Let go of my hand,

I’ll be standing right beside you.

Fear does not have to control your life. Fear does not have to hold you back. Fear does not have to be something you fear. Shake hands with your demons and walk into the light; Nothing feels better than a taste of freedom.
