In Fear Of Yourself Poem by Lubna Hazeem

In Fear Of Yourself



When your little fingers are fumbling
And when your little lips are mumbling
When you're whispering softly in your sleep
Dreams start speaking to you from the deep
Narrating your life in a short amount of time
Counting down all of your ups and downs
Summoning up the courage to face the world
Oh, you're opening yourself up now....

And you ask yourself, what do i need?
Another moment of doubt and fear?
Running down the short term bridge
While the world's waiting for me here...
I don't know what to expect....
Frankly im sick of guessing it...
Maybe i should just feel the moment...
Maybe i should just join the movement...
Oh, talking to ourselves about hopes we inspire to reach...
Or wasting our times with lessons we shouldn't have preached...
We're afraid of a storm that hadn't unleashed...
We're afraid of a lightening that hadn't stroke...
We're afraid of hopes we inspire to reach...
We're afraid of letting go of the ropes...
And if you're one of them than you're only
In fear of yourself.....

Limping down with crooked legs
Impatience is cleansing my head
I've got a handful of remedy....
That's trying to prove my sanity
Oh, if you're out looking for sparks
Know that some limits are marked
There are many sparks though for
People with hope....
For people who believe in thier
Rightful roads....
There are many sparks for the
Sick and slow...
And beliefs that grow....
There are many sparks...
Many sparks burning out....
And if you're not one of them
Than you're only in fear of yourself...
Oh, in fear of yourself now....
