A Song and a Heart's Cry.

I used to be so scared of new things.
But I was younger then.
I used to hate the way feelings felt.
But I decided to grow up.
I used to think that emotions were stupid.
But then I fell in love.
I used to look in the mirror and hate what I saw.
But now I see a different person.
A beautiful person.
That has seen many things.
Felt many things.
Had her heart crushed.
And her confidence wilted.
But it did not stop her.
It did not stop me.
I no longer fear people.
My past.
My heart.
Or my thoughts.
I have taken each captive.
And know that it is in a safe place.
A sacred place.
That cannot be shaken.
