Salaam again! Another poem I wrote… Mmm… not as good as the other one though

_______________

 

.:Shameless Fear:.

_______________

 

You see the hurt and reach out

To comfort, to help some way

But the yearning in you is consumed by doubt

That destroys you slowly every day

 

Part of you wants to break through

And fly open past the barriers of fear

But the world is a dark place in your view

So you cower away with a silent tear

 

The other part scolds you mercilessly

Dragging you away with claws of shame

“The world will never end happily,

“You’re the loser in this game”

 

You hear the laughs and cries of joy

And ache to join in too

To stand up, whether to a girl or boy

And finally be straight and not askew

 

You hear the voices speaking wisdom

And long to be the same

To learn and preach, and go and come

Where everyone knows your name

 

You see the wrong but instead shy away

Afraid of what they’ll think of you:

An extremist, a weirdo, a foul play

…afraid that they just might be true

 

But through this mask of shameless fear

Is indeed a wise pure heart

But through the goodness is a smear

That keeps you and everything else apart

 

In order to wash off the stain

You must believe in yourself and not be afraid

To experience happiness and pain

In order to heal your soul that was once frayed

 

So always believe that you can do it-

That you can win and strive forth

So, work hard and don’t just sit

Spread your voice east, west, south, and north

 

In you is a another person just waiting to be

So let him/her out and set yourself free
