You must think that I’m weak,
that when I fall,
I won’t get back up,
that eventually, I will fail,
but you are wrong;
yes, I am terrified,
but I will run towards the enemy,
not away from it;
fear only remains as long as I give in
but I am done;
and no, that doesn’t mean
I’ll never be under attack
or feel fear ever again
cause I know I will,
but I won’t let it keep me enslaved;
I will fight back
I will be free, eventually;
We are warriors
and warriors fight
backing down is NEVER an option
making excuses,
running away from the storm,
hiding from the enemy
isn’t who we are,
it isn’t who I am,
it’s not in my blood;
my blood flows through me strong
and this body is my instrument
to use to push back the enemy,
to fight,
to use all the force I have
to crush darkness under my feet
where it belongs;
fear is meant to be destroyed,
but it can only be if you decide to follow through
it is up to you,
in your own life;
you can be a slave to fear
or free in Christ,
the choice is up to you;
what will you choose?
