#unafraid
Uncomfortable with every selfish reach— I’d pack it full of sin and hide its face from heaven, slip a bag over its head and leave it gasping through plastic. Comfortable with the dagger to my neck— my heart gets wasted on pestilence and blacks out, searching for a demon to possess. Now I tear off chunks of my tongue and feed them to my pen, letting the blood sign my name as the pages drain me whole, unafraid of who I’ve always been.

No Alibi
In the quiet dawn, where shadows fade, Truth emerges, unafraid. A beacon bright, it lights the way, Guiding hearts through night to day. In whispers soft, it calls the soul, To seek the light, to find the whole. Through veils of doubt, it pierces through, Revealing paths both old and new. With every step, the spirit soars, Unbound by lies, it freely explores. For in the truth, we find our wings, And rise above the earthly things. So let us cherish, let us strive, To live in truth, to feel alive. For truth inspires, it sets us free, To be the best that we can be.

Truth Inspires
_...back broken... ...divinely kneeling... ...mending reflections... ...feeling the delusion... ...waging a war... ...fuelled by resentment... ...old wounds distance me... ...soft tissue... ...neatly hidden... ...from mothering..._ ☟ _...withdrawing criticism... ...that’s all it takes... ...without shame... ...of surrender... ...open the door... ...feel the longing... ...take the brave step... ...with you unafraid... ...all my intricate defences... ...would be taken away..._

☞ RANDOM ☜ FINGER-POINTING
I’ve seen such world, A sight i would always cherish Seeming end to life that begins, And we leave with unfinished words I haven’t flinch nor cried aloud The blood and sweat of soul Obligation Shall find unafraid For we are tears in different shade We have thoughts that hunt us The mistakes with saddened memories A discrete thought of failure and regret Sleep settles it— when you were not to wake The life i have lived to the stars Thoughts can’t fathom into constellations Beyond this place of grieving smiles I have lived a life of no regrets

Idle Remorse
We fall into Form fitting pieces Of one another Each other's own Silent feeling But it is all I want To sleep still and Dream unafraid Aching deeply to Drum thunder across Vacant marble halls Coalescing as the Texture of the things We all have Trouble believing Though it shows Aimlessly we go Out with lanterns Looking for this thing We call a soul

Parting is All We Need to Know of Hell
Always be honest to yourself. Good things happen to those who are unafraid to let their souls walk its own path. We are meant to be free, so be it. All the love, my friend. May your journey begin **

Unafraid.
how straightforward can you be? it intrigues me to see how your confidence replaces your fear of taking risks the complete opposite of my cautious being, stopping at every intersection wishing to avoid every single hazard

Cautious
Under the same satellite that I was afraid to crash right at me I recite what you said was your favorite of all my poems Wide open Vulnerable But you were holding my hand, dancing in the moonlight that I've never appreciated before 'cause I was too afraid by it's hidden, yet bright eyes following me, naked with all of my secrets But you were holding my hand And I was With you Unafraid to die Free.

Courage
Sensitive and Unafraid Nestled next to God Whom she claims to know One day She took in a crippled stranger Who was blind and corrupt Unable to live, unwilling to die She did not smile at first Unsure of the blind and corrupt man Though he was as afraid of her As she was awesome in her fearlessness She taught God and happiness He was an anarchist Slowly she understood That the stranger did not know what she knew So they came to an accommodation Each would grow.

Sensitive and Unafraid
Even if the golden jellyfish are disappearing I'll always have one with me. The best one out of them all, has never left or let me fall. If I sank deep enough before, their lake would've consumed me; left me poisoned and faded. but with him I'm unafraid I'll drown in his arms before I worry about pointless things.

Beyond and above it all the scrapes of furious hounds lies a nest of hopeful dreams growing silently in a wondrous wood unafraid of the world around

Unafraid
You can't frighten a man with death, when his not afraid to die So when your knifes and guns don't scare me know that is the reason why There is nothing more dangerous than one that doesn't care So you had better tread lightly, you better beware There's nothing more dangerous than one not affraid of death Unafraid to take that final breath I'll have a smile when I walk the reapers way So all you ********* go on and bray About the beauty of life and all them lies I have lived this life, it's only made me cry And I am not affraid to die

Not Affraid to Die
Concept: I am a hermit crab leaving its shell for the first time. The ocean is vast and I am unafraid.

Humanity cannot grip the thought of loosing everything and everyone. but oh my darlings, one day our corpses will be underneath the ground; and our souls will be dancing with Angels; the loved ones we lost so long ago. do not fear death, for death brings you home. and home is where we all belong.

Homesick
Alone they fall, But with her wings, Both can soar together, Both get lost together, Both are safe together, Both escape together, Both feel love together, Both unafraid together, Both can smile together, And finally, Both are released, Both are free.
