Once

Once upon a time I was too afraid to laugh too afraid to love and too afraid to cry.
I let my fears control me and I consoled myself with the thought that it was the only way I could block away the pain,
because of this I deprived myself of many of my dreams but today I stand here a brand new being with nothing but hope and a dream.
My fears have now gone and I am now free! Free to laugh to love and to cry.
A new peace I have in m soul.
I know I'll still feel pain but it doesn't plaque me for I know I will get through it.
With my free spirit can soar to reach the once unreachable star...
