A beautiful poem shared by Jayne WB
I was afraid to be alone,
until I learned
To love myself.
I was afraid to fail,
until I realized that I only fail
if I don't try.
I was afraid of success,
until I realized
that I just have to try
To be satisfied with myself.
I was afraid of someone's opinion,
until I learned that people always
have an opinion about me.
I was afraid of rejection,
until I learned to trust
in myself.
I was afraid of pain,
until I learned that it is necessary
in order to grow.
I was afraid of the truth,
until I saw the ugliness
of lying.
I was afraid of life,
until I experienced
beauty.
I was afraid of death,
until I realized
that it is not an end,
but a beginning.
I was afraid of my destiny,
until I realized
that I have the power
to change my life.
I was afraid of hate,
until I saw that it is nothing more
than ignorance.
I was afraid of love,
until it touched my heart
and made the darkness disappear
into endless sunny days.
I was afraid of ridicule,
until I learned
To laugh at myself.
I was afraid of getting older,
until I realized
that I gain more wisdom every day.
I was afraid of the future,
until I realized
that life is getting better and better.
I was afraid of the past,
until I realized
that it can no longer hurt me.
I was afraid of the dark,
until I saw the beauty
of the light of the stars.
I was afraid of the light,
until I learned that the truth
gives me strength.
I was afraid of change,
until I saw that even
a beautiful butterfly
must undergo a metamorphosis
before she can fly.
