Afraid

Sitting in a world, scared, afraid, alone
walking on your toes being completely silent not making even a grone
turning on the TV and what do you see
A world of terror and horror right in front of me.

Afraid to step foot out the door
Afraid to step foot in the world
Afraid of being shot to the ground where you stand
Afraid of the secrets of man.

Afraid of the people you pass on the street
because people aren't who they appear to be
Afraid of receiving a letter in the mail
Sending you to fight and afraid to fail

Crooked people doing crooked things
Rape, neglect, abuse, rape, neglect, abuse
innocent children fighting to keep living

Greedy, money hungry people
while brothers and sisters starve on the road
with nothing to do nowhere to go

Afraid to get in a car
cause your afraid you wont make it far
someone was drinking and driving
now someones paralyzed and dying

Afraid to speak out about what you believe
discriminated, judged, leaving your heart and beliefs to bleed.

if this is god world and we are his children
then why is afraid over powering the minute

why do people ask why when the answer is clea
people are afraid to let God inside because they are full of fear.

God has a plan. He gives us a choice
He gives us the tools to be great
the tools to not be afraid
but lets you decide your own fate

open up and let God in
and he will guide you through the world your in
he loves you eternally
and will forgive you for your sins
just open up and let him in.

once you do this you will see
open your eyes he will be there on his knee
to lift and carry you through everything

    Great write. I loved the beginning part which brought light to the many evils existing in this world. The second part had a more eye opening approach about believing in God and faith. There are a few typos in this piece which was a bit distracting...
    Thank you for your entry Best wishes

    Wow!!!! Exceptionally great piece, about the what is really out there, in our world. You have one misspelled word, on line 27.. word clea, I think you meant to spell it as.. clear. Other than the one word, this is a wonderfully and exquisitely written poem. Good luck in the contest. Take care and have a great day.

      Thank You

      Thank You for your comment. I wanted to tell you why I wrote about this.
      I use to not go to church and one day I decided to go when I went my preacher started to talk about how we are afriad to let God in. That night I was saved and I saw God standing beside me. That night I went home and wrote this. I just thought that maybe you would understand why exactally I wrote this
      Thank You again

    You've written a very meaningful poem, filled with many of the circumstances we worry about or in which we have found ourselves involved.

    It's a hope filled piece and I wish you best of luck in the contest
