Title: Realization

Someone once declared…
That he was scared of making promises,
He felt that his words were like chains,
Burdens which were binding and permanent.
But doesn’t it feel satisfying?
When you can faithfully carry out those oaths?

He also said…
That he dreads the future,
To him the future is like a whirlpool,
Confusing and yet undeniable.
But isn’t it exciting?
Molding a destiny of your choosing?

That guy told me…
That he was afraid of falling in love,
Letting his heart be in the hands of another,
The potential of hurt too much to handle.
But it must feel great right?
Being set free from all the suffering of life?

I was and am that person,
But now I will fear no longer.
