The pain I've undergone since before I was twenty,
I must confess has been more than plenty.
But now I find myself in a much happier place,
as past pain and heartache disappear without a trace.

Fear to love is something I no longer,
as every aspect of me appears to be growing stronger.
Should I experience pain I will take it on the chin,
now that I possess this unfloundering courage within.

So for the first time in a long time,
I won't fear reaching for what I want to be mine.
No chains to bind the love that I now set free,
for I know this is the right time for me.

To let go of all my childhood fears,
that have suppressed the real me for all these years.
Strengthening in heart, soul and mind,
as all that I am and can be proceed to bind.

Entwining together like strawberries and cream,
I hold no fear to reach for what I once dared to dream.
Intimidated once by indifference,
but now I no longer sit on the fence.

Waiting for someone to notice me,
as for the first time hidden depths in myself I see.
For now that I have experienced this amazing revival,
no longer do I question MY HEARTS SURVIVAL?!?!
