I Am Not Afraid

Every sunset must fade into darkness, Every glimmer of light will dwindle
As the day turns into night, As the blackened abyss consumes the light
I realize another sunrise will lead to a new day, A day closer to my end
The only assurance I have is now, The future holds no peace in my mind
I will not waste this moment, I will not let the seconds tick by in apathy

As though today will be my last, I will reach out to those in need
As though today will be my last, I will consume the pain that plagues you
As though today will be my last, I will teach you to walk on your own
As though today will be my last, I will give you the tools needed for life
As though today will be my last, I will tell you that you are my all

I am not afraid of the present as I once was, I found strength in the passing of time
I am not afraid of the past as I once was, I found strength in knowing I am the future
I am not afraid of the future as I once was, I found strength in the unknown
I am not afraid of failure as I once was, I found strength in second chances
I am not afraid of pain as I once was, I found strength in my scars
