fears

sometimes

when I close my eyes at night

I see that little girl

I once was

afraid and timid

I ran away from many fears

Ultimately I had no choice but to

Face them,

Conquered

and

Persevered.

~

Yet, as an adult

I am faced with many more fears

I still run

And try to escape them

As I did when I was a child

But one day I will have no choice but to

Face them,

Conquer

and

Persevere.
