"I choose now to not be afraid anymore"


Poem Artwork

Courage

Because the universe is a multiverse
In which what is so is so and so and so
And everything is going all at one go
Turning and spinning and losing and winning
I choose to choose the better over the worse
What I would like to know beyond what I know

And though I know I am late to have done it
And though some who ought to know might be surprised
I choose to change for the better now because
I would like myself to be self-realized
Choosing the high road and having begun it
Doing my best I am better than I was

Though that was the best I knew how to do then
Now is better late than never I suppose
I will get where I get and will tell you when
I get there if I do so everyone knows
That all I ever wanted was to be good
Enough or if not then to be understood

If I can feel the corners of the now then
I think I can accept my position here
And can find my way to the moment of when
If things like the corners of the now come clear
Something to show me life is not meaningless
Something like the corners of the now I guess

Death has an appointment and does not delay
To take one so life might another one bring
I am old now and tired of being afraid
And though some being paid and some being played
Playing on others for pay can live that way
I choose to not be afraid of anything

I choose with all my heart to stand up and say
I choose now to not be afraid anymore
I choose now to turn from the dark toward the day
This is what I think I might have come here for
This is what I think I came to overcome
In a time for courage I choose to have some
