I used to be so afraid.

I used to be so afraid.
Afraid everyday in everyway.
I didn’t dare too look back.
I knew it was right there.
I couldn’t look ahead either.
I was afraid of what was behind.
I didn’t enjoy today either way.
Looking back and yet not able to see.
Looking ahead and afraid to see.
I knew the storm clouds followed me.
Even if the sun was shining on me.
I knew it was going to pour on me soon.
I couldn’t move fast enough to get away.
I didn’t dare to look away.
Storm clouds brewing but I could not see.
I just wanted to run away but didn’t dare to flee.
Stuck in a position of neither here nor there.
Forward scared me and behind it was closing on me.
I was afraid to move at all.
I hunkered down and World went bye me.
It didn’t wait for me and it won’t for thee.
One day I say a ray of sun.
A glimmer of hope.
I was afraid but I reached for it anyway.
I grabbed right on and followed it home.
Soon my fear faded away with brightening skies.
Storms clouds were not to be found around me.
I didn’t quiver waiting for it to come from behind me.
I looked forward and road was brighter.
Storm clouds gone I dared to move.
Soon it got brighter and brighter.
No fear left in me.
I move ahead everyday.
Fear gone and not looking back.
I used to be so afraid.
