To Be Brave
If I could change
Just one part of what it is that makes me whole
I would stop being scared of what is not
what has yet to come and what has already happened
I would have opened my mouth to speak the words
that caught in my throat when insecurity claimed my tongue.
I would have put myself out there without the fear
holding me down like an oncoming wave slowly coaxing a ship to its depths.
I would switch the absurd and
Childish dreams cast away with the dismay fear brought
To dream again as a child with no knowledge of fear
is to live in content.
My heart has learned the lessons
of a never-ending sensation of fear
So, would I really change the ideology put behind my words?
' What if I changed ' is a question here I can not tell you the answer to
If I could change one thing about myself
I would stop trying to put in words of something I can't change
I would love myself as I am and hating myself for what I am not.
For I am whole.
