Afraid
May 19, 2014
I am afraid
Of turning away.
I am afraid
Of not having a say.
I am afraid
Of hiding my face.
I am afraid
Of not having a voice.
I am afraid.
I don't want to be afraid.
I don't want
To be afraid of anyone.
I don't want
To keep mouth shut.
I don't want
To live in constant fear.
I want to be the one
Who dares to speak up.
I want to be the one
Who makes a difference.
I want to be the one
Who makes the right decision.
I want to be the one
Who isn't afraid anymore.
