(You are) Not Afraid

Was the candle left thoughtless alight?
When you closed your eyes that fateful night.
Alone in a coma,
So far from all guarding eyes,
Lying in no state to defend your own life.

Was it a shock, once again, to realise,
That you were fighting to control your mind?
Alone with eternity,
So far from certainty,
Lying in no state to ask the polluter, why?

And when it is all by the by,
Even though you know the higher that you fly,
Then the further you'll crash down in flames,
And the only things left
Are these words to yourself,
That "you are not afraid".

Why were you persecuted, forced to move on?
With no choice but to find a new home.
Alone with despondency,
So far from security,
Stripped of self-confidence,
And left to find a way through on your own.

Why were you ruthlessly beaten and mocked?
Attacked unaware and unprovoked.
Alone and defenseless,
Kicked almost senseless,
With no offers of assistance,
Merely left to crawl away to lick your wounds.

And when it is all by the by,
Even though you know the higher that you fly,
Then the further you'll crash down in flames,
And the only things left
Are these words to yourself,
That "you are not afraid".

You are not afraid.
