How can I fear the dark and cold on this jet-black, icy-cold night?!

The Irony of Life!

The cold used to daunt me.
But I think I'll have to learn to embrace the cold, for my heart is now dry of emotions.

Darkness used to haunt me.
But I think I'll have to learn to accept the dark, for my eyes are welled up and moist with tears.

Loneliness used to scare me.
But I think I'll have to learn to get used to being lonely, for my people have ditched me.

Crowds used to overwhelm me.
But I think I'll have to learn to welcome the chaos, for mind is flooded with thoughts and anxiety.

I feared being judged.
But I think I'll have to learn to be perceived whichever way, for my verity has been dishonoured.

I feared venturing into the unknown.
But I think I'll have to learn to be receptive for the impromptu, for my plans have gone haywire.

I feared my plans and dreams falling short.
But I think I'll have to learn to accept life as and how it comes, since God has been lending me a deaf ear.

I feared not being enough and unable to meet people's expectations.
But I think I'll have to learn to embrace my abilities and capabilities and my belief in myself, for it has taken immense efforts, love and courage to be the way I am today!
