Fear of the Unknown
Locked in and
paralyzed by her thoughts she was so afraid of the unknown.
Day after day sorrow
and shame was her clothing
Night after night she
cried herself to sleep
Afraid of the unknown
No one to tell how
she felt deep inside, she was clouded by dark clouds so dark she couldn’t see
no light
She couldn’t find no
light, alone she sat battling with low self- esteem hiding herself away
Afraid of the unknown
All she ever wanted
was to feel desired and acknowledged for who she was nothing more nothing less
Too afraid of the
unknown she stayed on the same spot
Not knowing there was
always a way out
Too afraid of the
unknown she kept herself to herself drowning in misery she felt like no one
cared.
She always felt like
she needed other people’s approval to be happy.
She failed to see
that she never needed to be accepted by anyone but herself.
All she needed to do
was to love herself.
She was afraid of
something that existed only in her mind.
