Don’t Be Afraid

Dear Inner Me,

Don’t be afraid

To come out and be

A part of our life.

Don’t be afraid

To come out and see

What life would be like

If we were truly ourselves.

Don’t be afraid

Of what awaits us

On the other side of change.

Don’t be afraid

Again to trust,

That people will get close

Only to leave once more.

Don’t be afraid

Of life as it passes by,

Leaving us behind.

Don’t be afraid,

Don’t be too shy,

To show the rest of the world

What makes us shine.

Don’t be afraid

To be afraid;

Embrace that anxiety, that fear,

Let it fuel you

Empower you

Mold you

Into what you were always meant to be,

That goddess hidden inside of me.

Don’t be afraid

To just be.

Love Always,

Stephanie
