The Past

A friend I made
A dark friend
A revealing friend
A journey of trepidation
we began

She bestowed upon me
wisdom
through hindsight
She taught me that fear is
unnecessary as an enemy

Fear, we befriended together
AH! The peace I possessed
then
Standing in the healed fear
that froze me in my steps before...

I embraced my past
and she has proven
to be the steadfast companion
I was searching for

A subtle glance behind me
was the unreconciled  key
to allowing myself...
forward  movement
