Afraid of change By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
Affirmations to remind me I'm without hope
Vials of pills to remind me of my inability to cope
I hear a melody in the distance that washes over me like rain
The music create emotions that mix with the pain
I close my eyes tight to feel the conflicting beauty
Letting the healing and heart ache just be
I've been a prisoner for so long I forget how to be free
The jail door is open but I'm just too afraid to leave
I'm like a bird who's too scared to take
See, I've been haunted by shadows, so I've always avoided the light
But I think I'm ready to shed my self-destructive beliefs
So here I stand naked with my insecurities
I was a caterpillar and I thought the cocoon was my death
But instead I grew wings and soared on freedoms breath
