I used to afraid of everything and everyone.                                                     Fear immobilized me.
Frozen into a paralysis of emotions and resentments.                                      I stopped growing.
I slowly started dying on the inside one day at a time.                                    I wanted to fade away.

Today, I am still afraid, but not frozen in fear.                                                   I walk towards them.
I am not alone today, and my heart fills up with hope.                                   Love guides me through,
Slowly my heart and soul is awakening on the other side.                             to a life open to the present.
