Who Would Not Fear?

It's a chain 

of fear

My mom was born

of fear

My grandma born

of fear

Who knows where it began,

but I know where it ends.

The beginning of the end,

when you acknowledge the fear.

You realize that fear

is 

just 

a

thought

How will I ever

live

my life

when fear controls

my every thought?

How will I know

the feeling of the ocean surrounding me

the feeling of jumping from a plane

the feeling of his embrace as more than my friend

How can I do those things

when I am

scared of

the botomless pit of the ocean

the distance between me and the ground 

the heartbreak I'll experience from rejection

Oh, but who can not be scared to drown ?

So I gave myself to the ocean

Oh, but who can not be scared to fly ?

So I gave myself to the sky

Oh, but who can not be scared to love ?

So I gave myself to the boy

Oh, but who can not be scared to live ?

So I gave myslef the ability to mute fear
