Love Poem: I Am Not Afraid

I Am Not Afraid

I have spent wasted time on feelings
ignored the warning of useless healings.
I was left in need
With a lifetime of misery to read.

I am not afraid
I will call for help.
Someone out there will say I love you
Someone will be true.

For a while, it will be heartbreaking
Until the ache begins fading
With toil and patient endurance
The quiet heart leads to peace.

You will find a new awakening
Like hearing back your voice speaking.
Time become my comfort
Every breath expels the dread of death,

I am not afraid of being broken
Hope reaches into dreams spoken,
It will be a new challenge opening.
Towards new life for healing.

I am not afraid anymore 
I am a versatile striving conquer.
honoring love and more 
Crossing deserted shores to explore.
