Fear and Hope

I have been blessed

By the divine

I believe in it

I too can shine

Your picayune squabbling

Travels through my ears

Hoping to enter the mind

And release some fears

Some of it succeeds

A lot of it fails

But fear spreads quickly

Over the ocean of evil, it sails

A little warrior called hope

Challenges the fears

It brings a smile

On the dry tears

You told me to stop

You told me to not fight

I tried not to listen

As you were not right

Give some time

To my hope to flourish

It will swallow the fears

And all the anguish

I admire you

And I bless you too

Just don’t ever tell me

What I can and can’t do.
