Yearning to be embraced, to be embraced, to be known,
Longing for a place where my soul can truly roam.
But the ache persists, a constant gnawing pain,
Unable to feel joy, only shadows remain.
Suffocated by doubts, by fears that bind,
Terrified of the unknown, of what I might find.
Fear of tomorrow, of dreams left behind,
And losing true love, the thought unkind.
Haunted by the fear of letting others down,
Living for their expectations, wearing a frown.
But deep inside, I know it's not true,
I'm not just a reflection of what they construe.
Who am I, in this world so vast?
With no one to turn to, the die is cast.
Hurting and being hurt, a vicious cycle spun,
Screaming into darkness, my battles never won.
All I yearn for is a love, pure and sincere,
To embrace me wholly, to chase away fear.
To be myself, without pretense or guise,
Slowly falling, but still I rise.
I refuse to be held captive by fear's dark lore,
I crave freedom, to soar and explore.
To shed the shackles of doubt and pain,
To find solace in love, where I can remain.
No longer shall I cower, no longer shall I hide,
For I am worthy of love, of joy, of pride.
With each step forward, I reclaim my might,
No longer afraid, I step into the light.
