Fear.
Fear makes me do mistakes.
Fear made me hurt people I love, I pushed her away out of fear that they'd hurt me first.
My fear silenced me.
I was afraid of talking of the things I lived, the things I felt,
afraid to talk of the unfairness of the things said and done to me.
Because of fear of consequence I was afraid to stand up for myself and those like me.
For fear of what would be taken for me.
The fear of danger was like two heavy shackles holding me down.
But today I stand free of those chains.
Today I realise, I have lost what there is to lose.
Today I am the danger.
