Fear, I was so afraid to face the truth and open wide For fear that I would float away and not been seen There is a beating in my heart and it is the scariest thing I have ever felt To know that the difference between joy and sadness is such a small sliver There is a welling up of emotions inside me that I just can't bare; tears stream down my face There are moments of extreme joy, there are moments of love, there are moments of madness And this is life; we cannot change what arises, only how we greet it The pictures they fade, my horrible memories fade They burst into fire when I chose to let love be my guide Depression, anxiety and shame, they almost killed me Obsession, addiction and pain, they almost killed me The wounds that never heal are the ones you refuse to see Be the change you seek
