AFRAID TO BE

Why are you afraid?

Afraid to be the person you want to be

Afraid to be yourself

There is nothing to be afraid of

Come,

Take my hand

Live

We have the strength within

It is there

From the beginning it was

Placed there

For a reason

A purpose

God, Inner Spirit

Jah, Chi

Many names, same energy

The synergy

That’s released when

Two bodies become one

Beauty in its most empirical form

Love

Lust

Sex

Call it what you will

But in it all

There is the connection still

The trouble is

We are timid

Comfortable

Complacent in our

Two-by-four space

It’s not a disgrace

To want to move at a different pace

There is nothing to be ashamed of

No guilt required

Unburden yourself

Your friends

Will understand

What you really need

What you really desire

To be the man

Of your future lover

Take my hand

I am your inner spirit

I am your muse

Unlock me

Set me free

To be

Your creator of self

It is time

She waits…….
