I was afraid of being rejectedUntil I learned to never reject myselfI was afraid of being abandonedUntil I learned to never abandon myselfI was afraid of the opinions of othersUntil I learned that they held no more weight than my ownI was afraid of painful endingsUntil I realized that they were also new beginningsI was afraid of appearing weakUntil I realized how strong I truly wasI was afraid of being seen as small and unimportantUntil I discovered my true power and potentialI was afraid of being perceived as uglyUntil I learned to fully appreciate my own beautyI was afraid of failureUntil I learned that it was an illusionWhen viewed through the eyes of love, growth and learningI was afraid of feeling lowUntil I learned that it was the birthplace of brillianceAnd where my greatesttransformation occurredI was afraid of changeUntil I realized it was an inevitable part of lifeIn a world full of things temporary and fleetingI was afraid of being aloneUntil I learned to fully embrace and appreciate my own companyI was afraid of my uniquenessUntil I learned that it was where my greatness layI was afraid of the darknessUntil I remembered that I was the lightAnd I was afraid of lifeUntil I remembered who I was...Tahlia Hunter
