Poem 35: I Am Not Afraid
I am not afraid of
The universe that lies beyond me
The decisions I've yet to make
And the consequences I've yet to see
Do not worry me like they should
.
I am not afraid
Because although beyond me lies
An abyss of scars and fear
And behind me the pushing wall
I have faced darkness before
.
I am not afraid
Of the inevitable fall
Nor do I fear the leaps I must make
Or the paths I might take
All my potentialities, I own them all
.
I am not afraid
For I will clutch tight
My agency in the face of circumstance
And when I meet my judgement
I will do so unashamed
