FEAR

I wrote this poem some time ago. I’m sharing this now as with anything I write in the hopes that it might help someone through some thing .

There once was a girl who lived in a house

With glass walls so high that she couldn’t get out.

Everyday she’d see the world go by,

Watching and wanting gazing out with long sighs.

She’d run from wall to wall trying to break them down.

Banging and scratching cutting the silence with the sound.

Then one day she awoke and decided not to try.

She let go of the fight, ready to lay down and die.

But just then the strangest thing of all.

She put her hands out for stability and tumbled, the soft grass breaking her fall.

Then all at once it become abundantly clear.

There were never any glass walls, all that kept her there was her fears.
