Free from Fear

I will not live in fear, cowering in the dark
Avoiding life, shrinking from each spark
Fears try to hold me back, keep me from joy
But I refuse to let fear have employ

Fears whisper lies, declare I’ll never succeed
Twisting my thinking, with dismissals I heed
I’m not what I want, not good enough they say
Yet I know deep inside, I can find my way

I choose to face each fear that comes my way
Stand up to them, not let them have their say
Each small victory makes me stronger inside
And every triumph shrinks the fear I have to hide

The past can’t hurt me, it’s left far behind
I focus on now, with courage, hope and mind
I live without regret, without worries or doubts
Free from fear at last, I can shout and shout!

Now visions carry mе up on Rousing drafts
Old boundariеs brokеn, thе past lеft in laughs
Rеsiliеncе guidеs mе, talеnts arе shinе through
Libеratеd from panic, a lifе fеarlеss and truе
