Tired Of Being Afraid---Poem
· eyewonder · 05/03/2012 00:11
Many years I walked this complicated land
I have built up brick walls that
Only God could tear down with a plan
I’ve stood in the shadows
Always staying behind
Afraid of coming to the light
Where my spirit would shine
Some may look at me
And see sometimes a sheltered soul
Who hibernates in the hot summer
As well the winter cold
During periodic retreats
I’ve always felt safe
I was away from people and things
That could possibly hurt me
Leaving my heart in a fragile state
Not saying I’ve never enjoyed life
The way people do
It’s just that the ultimate happiness
I’ve been seeking
Have perpetrated itself in
Momentary things and men that wasn’t true
Up goes the walls, stronger and thicker
Making it hard for anyone to penetrate thru
I’m so tired of being afraid
Of what the unknown can possibly do
The fear factor controlled my solitude life
Leaving me helpless and hopeless
Like a wounded bird without wings to fly
For once in my life, before it’s too late
I hope these barriers let down
So self can escape
Tired of Being Afraid
I can no longer be
For earthly time is running out
And my spirit needs to be set free
