I'M NOT AFRAID.

[xxdeadstar]

I'm not afraid to tell you who I am.

I'm not afraid to say that I'm square as can be. I'm not afraid to tell you that I don't like to go out and cause mischief as my way of having fun. I'm not afraid to speak my mind about issues, political, scientific, moral, or just plain obvious. I'm not afraid to use my voice and to be outspoken. I'm no longer afraid of ridicule, prejudice, and unjustified compensation. I am not afraid to say I am confident. I am not afraid to say that I believe in myself.

I am afraid of letting you down. I am afraid of letting go of my promises. I am afraid of admitting my feelings, knowing the limits of my emotions and being able to settle down to be comfortable. I am afraid of sitting still, staying in one place forever. I am afraid of being nothing. I am afraid of losing trust. I am afraid of making life-altering mistakes. I am afraid of domination, of lack of freedom. I am afraid of war. I have always been afraid of being in crowds, surrounded by people I don't know and will never get to find out about.

I am not afraid to be alone. I am not afraid to lay underneath the stars at night and wonder and think. I am not afraid to be intuitive and strong towards the feelings of others, nor am I afraid to let people know about it. I am not afraid to admit to myself when I have made a mistake. I am not afraid of redemption, of repetition, or of fate. I am not afraid of life. I am not afraid of death. And I am not afraid of everything that comes afterwards.

I am who I am. And I will never be afraid to admit it.
