I am awakened by fears that have me bounded
to concerns that are so unfounded
as my heart palpitates with great intensity
while I attempt to calm the animosity
that has dwelled in me for so long,
I just want to shout and say "Please, be gone!"
I keep a troubled mind everyday
which makes it hard for me to convey
what deeply lies inside of me
as it literally weakens my integrity.
I want to unshackle the chains that hold me constricted
and allow my heart to no longer be restricted
so I can sincerely accept the comforting words
that in my youth I hardly heard
while growing up in a world of discomfort
in order to not dis others comfort.
I'm beginning to learn love's respect
instead of trying to reach and dissect.
Now, I am looking in the mirror
where my life I see more clearer
as I slowly free my mind from negativity
that wrought me and diminshed my positivity.
I need to love myself first
in order to satisfy that thirst
that lies inside my heart
knowing this is a very large part
in releasing my everyday fears
that sometimes appear in spontaneous tears.
I welcome the outpouring flow of rain
and open my arms to cleanse my pain
from all the calamities that have me bounded
only to discover they were unfounded
as I open my heart to receive true love,
the only love that would be blessed from Heavens above.
