As a young girl of fourteen, there were so many things that made me afraid.

Image by author.

Afraid of laughter and tears
Afraid to tell anyone your fears

Afraid to let anyone see inside
While you wait the time you bide

Afraid of darkness and of night
Afraid you’ll never see the light

Afraid to linger or to run
You are so different from everyone
