Fear Not

Dear Juliet,

I’m not afraid to love you
I will put myself on the stake
And testify to the world
I will take a thousand lashes
And bleed for a thousand days

I’m not afraid to love you
I will swim all the oceans
And battle siren and kraken
I will climb the highest peak
And challenge Gods and Angels

I’m not afraid to love you
I will defy divinity and law
And journey Dante’s Hell
I will welcome Death’s grace
And live to be heard again

I’m not afraid to love you
And it scares me
