Don't Be Afraid
Don’t be afraid
Too much
Of the unknown
And the known
Because
It doesn’t matter
Try to be strong
Inside
Despite the pain
Don’t we know
It’s not
Supposed to matter
Why do we care
So much
About the hurt
And the fear
That kills
What doesn’t matter?
Think of the days
Long gone
When we could see
And believe
Something
Could truly matter
Can we still live
Alone
Within the dark
And silence
Where we
Know we don’t matter?
So we find peace
Outside
Lasting comfort
In the end
We know
That nothing matters
But how can we
Conceal
Our torture
Our tears
When nothing matters?
We can’t be free
Can we
Of our nightmares
Legacy
Even
Though nothing matters
