Reminding Fear... Poem by Ms. Anika Martinez

Fear reminds me of what I left behind me.
I look back I am surprise of the destruction I left behind

I keep stepping and watching every step I step in front of me
Yes fear reminds me where I came from and the soil in which kept me dirty

Cleaned up now and facing forward keeping one foot ahead of the other

No stepping backward
Staying focus on the present
Looking forward to the future

Fear reminds me

Where I am going
Where I was
I keep moving forward
One step in front of the other
