Preparing for the worst
Shielding my heart from inevitable pain
Just as I did at first
The light upon the walkway
Seems a never-ending beam
Coaxing me further and closer
Till it seems I'm in a dream
That fear, an unending aching
That continues to hold me back
As if it wants to own me
Or stab me in the back
Within the deepest realms of my soul
There must be another way out
The road to happiness lies there
I know without a doubt
So on I search until I find
The gate of Golden Love
The peace that finds me smiling
Through the rain from up above
There are sure to be days of sorrow
But without fear I would be
Just another being
Instead of being me
As I open the door to my heart
And learn to love again
You smile at me and whisper
Thank you for being my friend
