Fear

I am not someone that people think is afraid of anything. I walk tall, speak loudly and stand with what looks like confidence. People see the power and smile and mistakenly think I can do anything. I am often a rock for people in my circle of life. I am the one with the broad shoulders who can handle anything… or can I? Being this to so many people has at times left me forgetting that I to am human, with human feelings and the abilities of a human.

 

I have had a chance lately to grow my soul. That may seem like an odd statement, but that is what I believe was done. I hav ebeen nuturing my soul, my pains, my joys, my loves and so on.. and my soul just bloomed. I stand back in my fear, and I see it for what it is, what it was.. and what it will surely be again and I am human. Fear will and does take hold of me from time to time, even still so many years past what was by far the most horrible experience of my life. That being said it does not seem to hold me for nearly as long, or nearly as tightly as it once did.
