Don't Be Afraid

Fear cripples the heart and mind
Reduces spontaneity to the sublime
Doubts fester like a lanced boil
Amidst the strife and turmoil
But I ask that you remember me
Thoughts of our love will set you free

When life’s uncertainties pull down your soul
When time accelerates and makes you feel old
When sinister thoughts consume your being
And you forget what you are seeing
Remember please my love for you
To console and bring life anew

When your brain locks up and can’t feel no more
Insecurity returns to even the score
And you don’t even trust yourself
To keep on living and remain on the shelf
Remember please my love for you
Will tear apart barriers between us two

When you cry till there are no more tears
And life has past beyond your years
You can’t move out of your delirious rut
Of fear and doubt and all that stuff
Remember this one thing I ask
My love for you knows no mask
