"Fear isn't fear until you let it take control."


Little girl so shy
sits alone but never cries.
Smiles when they pass her by,
They ask "Are you happy?"
Her reply "Big girls don't cry"

Little girl on the playground,
Wonders why no friends around,
She hides away without a sound,
The wind replies "Are you happy?"
Her reply "No enemies around"

Little girl running free,
Beautiful silence, how can it be,
The world is happy don't you see,
Then it said "Are you happy?"
Her reply "I am me"

Little girl is growing fast,
Her birthday has now come to pass,
Another year she has last,
Her future wonders "Are you happy?"
Her reply "In the past"

Big girl surrounded by company
There's friends and family,
She laughs and asks brightly
"Are you happy?"
Their reply "Most certainly"

Independent girl leaving home,
Back to the beginning all alone,
She smiles towards what's unknown,
It questions "Are you happy?"
Her reply "Forever and Always"

I hope this is inspiring to those out there who, like me just need time to breath. Time away from society. This is to those who can see the world with a different type of admiration.
