On Fear

In the face of Fear

I seize permission to be who I am

I seize permission to live my journey - as it was

In the face of Fear

I recruit strength from the Earth

I recruit strength from within

In the face of Fear

I force shame out of hiding

I expose shame to the light of day

In the face of Fear

My body shakes yet I stand my ground

My body shakes yet I won’t back down

In the face of Fear

I mend the internal split

I unify the broken pieces

In the face of Fear

I end years of silence

I end years of self-betrayal

In the face of Fear

I suit up and show up

For me - For you - For us all
