Dawn & Dusk

I didn’t see it
I didn’t comprehend
The fear that gripped me
That hemmed me in

Born from past trauma
From difficult days
When my mood was low
And my concentration in a haze

I made it through
I somehow survived
But that feeling of fear
Left scars inside

I vowed never to allow myself
To go through that again
I would do whatever it took
To spare myself that pain

But fear limited me
Put me in a box
Depression sunk in
After all that I had lost

For I was capable
Of so much more
But I feared that feeling
That jolt before a fall

I gradually had to edge
Towards the cliff that I feared
To realise that the drop
Wasn’t actually that near

As my boldness grew
My mood improved
So the stronger I became
As I could see what I could do

Until I stepped off the edge
And realised the truth
That with God, I can fly
And do things I otherwise couldn’t do
