Evolution of Fear: From 14 to 19
14 – I question my sexual orientation and
I wonder about suicide, I
hurt myself for the very first time.
15 – I need to
look perfect
be perfect
act perfect, so I
apply make-up,
wear high heels and
a smile.
16 – I, got my heart broken
for the first time.
You were a storm:
too soon, too fast.
You left me torn apart, so I
learned how to
fix myself again.
17 – I, gain back
what you took from me
the day you left:
self-love,
self-esteem,
self-confidence.
I am whole again.
18 – I am ready to face the world:
Curiosity,
Doubt,
Disappointment,
Expectations,
Laughter and
Love.
19 – Ready to take off, off to a new life,
I am
at peace with myself.
Still, I
Wonder,
Doubt,
Disappoint,
Expect,
Laugh,
and I love and love and love.
Evolution of Fear: in My 20s
Were I to go back in time,
I would tell myself that
it is okay –
to be an introvert,
for introverts are nothing but
treasures in disguise.
It is okay –
to be a loner,
for you need to
fall in love with
yourself first.
It is okay –
to have occasional breakdowns, for you are
just human.
It is okay –
not to be supported by people, for they will watch
you
become what they could never be.
It is okay –
To always strive for more, for potential is
not to be wasted.
It is okay.
Evolution of Fear: A Conclusion
Stitch the broken pieces back
together, the cracks in it
are what makes it
truly worth admiring.
