A poem by Guest Contributor Priya Patel
Fearless
Fearlessly
I walk two steps forward;
not the two steps back
like in the past
I walk ahead of you at last
I am fearless
no longer afraid of what’s to come
or of how you will soon react
no longer afraid
that I too may crack
beneath your stone cold words
I am fearless
like a warrior in a battle
for everything right
head held high; I am ready to fight
Soon, so soon, you shall come to know
and then your life
will never be the same again
