I Could Be Terribly Afraid

I could be terribly

afraid

that what I want

will never happen. But

I am not.

I could be terribly

afraid

of every little unfortunate

possibility lingering in

every little

corner. But I

am not.

I could be terribly

afraid

that I am alone, or in the worst cases,

feel alone when others are

around. But I am

not.

I am not

afraid

because I believe.

In myself;

in what is good;

in what I continue to

put my faith in.

Why breed fear when you can breed faith?

It demands the same kind of energy

and belief

so invest in what does good,

and leaves you better.
