I Will Not Be Afraid

I will not be afraid

Of surrendering control

Of writing my own truth

Of connecting with my soul

 

I will not be afraid

Of what I should release

Of disappointing others

Of approaching inner peace

 

I will not be afraid

Of letting it all go

Of judgement from the world

Of realizing what I know

 

I will not be afraid

Of the demons of my past

Of the future so uncertain

Of finding love that lasts

 

I will not be afraid

Of running out of time

Of growing old, of being bold

Of receiving the divine

 

I will not be afraid

That I am not enough

of all imagined failures

or of being way too much

 

I will not be afraid

That I will ruin you

That your pain is mine to carry

Of starting life anew

 

I will not be afraid

That I might soon forget

The reasons that I stayed

And the reasons why I left

 

I will not be afraid

That you will someday leave

That I will be rejected

That I will not believe

 

I will not be afraid

Instead I’ll let it be

I’ll walk in light

And finally know

What it means to be set free.
