I Am Not Afraid
I wake with the ghosts
Of a life hard lived
I smile and start my day
I am not afraid.
I know they think
So very little of me
And my private pain…yet
I am not afraid.
I walk through ashes
and breathe in shuddered breaths
As I hear the earth screaming away
I am not afraid.
I see their faces
full of anger and dismay
I listen to their words awhile..but
I am not afraid.
I know some may dig
Pull apart and try to find
Those demons I locked away
I am not afraid.
I was a catalyst for change
I helped history be made
And, I am not ashamed
I am not afraid.
The sycophant sorrow
Has finally been delayed
Its hunger abated and stayed
I am not afraid.
Years lost in a hazy maze
Of confusion and charade
Are nothing but a memory serenade
I am not afraid.
The sadness that held me
Has long over stayed
Now I laugh in the face of its wicked tirade
I am not afraid.
For the first time in my life
I am not afraid.
Ok, the news lately has started to unsettle me just a bit. Time to update the Zombie Apocalypse kit.
From the doorway
I saw into your soul
I tried to look away
But, still I saw the hole
Your eyes glistened slightly
as you realized what I had done
and although I smiled brightly
you turned around to run
I followed you
down the path
and to
the place where you hid your wrath.
It was then I knew.
You didn’t need a savior
or any help from me
To rid you of any behavior
or tell you who to be.
I watched you walk down to the shore
of the lake, crystal green
and hear as you let out a roar
that left your conscience clean
I left you there at water’s edge
to find your own place
but I would never be able to allege
that I could forget your face.
ivomit-verses asked: I think you're a weirdo .. But not in a bad way, in a unique way .. Your eyes catch the unusual and your pen writes the unimaginable .. Maybe a little darkness in you, quiet, peaceful, friendly .. *shrugs* .. That's what I think about you when I look at you page ..
Well, it’s good to know it’s not in a bad way, LOL. Interesting, thanks :)
Anonymously message me exactly what type of person you think I seem like from my Tumblr.

Not anonymous, but it can be private….
I’m curious.
