Assuaged Quelled Woes and Afflictions

By Sashi Prabhu 28/2/2012

I have lived in a contest with life until now, Not to be afraid in anticipation I now solemnly vow..................

I have cheated my fears alright, I have broken up with my doubts uptight.

I got engaged to my faith last night, I married my dreams at the sight of first light.

I am not afraid to get up today, I am not afraid to wake up to another day today,

I am not afraid to open my eyes today, I am not afraid to climb out of bed today.

I see beyond and am not afraid any more, I see beyond and am not afraid any more.

I am ready to face the world all alone, I am ready to do anything to walk up the stepping stone.

I am ready to say anything to anyone, I am ready to talk to anyone under the sun.

I am ready to yell from mountain tops, I am ready to dive from ravine drops.

I am ready to walk for a cause, I am ready to run to protect environmental laws.

I am ready to understand tangled issues, I am ready to wipe all tears with tissues.

I am ready to jump out from a moving truck, I am ready to pull my allies from loads of muck.

I am ready to be creative again, I am ready to write and spill out my joys and pain.

I am ready to sing my own songs, I am ready to correct my own wrongs.

I am ready to throw a stone afar, I am ready to play my own music for all with the door ajar.

I am ready to write notes about me, I am ready to put them up for all to see.

I am ready to whistle whilst I walk down the alley, I am ready to pluck the fruits from the orchards of Sally.

I see beyond and am not afraid any more, I see beyond and am not afraid any more
