There is an evil in the world we call fear.
It is the reason a young girl holds
her secret close, not daring to tell us.
She is afraid everyone will turn their back
on her. There was no reason to, but from
that day, the girl was no longer reaching
out to those who cared about her. Our
help was offered, but she denied and focused on her goals.
It was the feeling of fear
that left the girl struggling. She is
struggling to breathe. She is a
struggling girl in a world of darkness.
There was nothing anyone could do that
could possibly assist the girl in her needs,
and the girl kept going, continuing to
move forward and telling herself to be
strong. Fear was just a fire that had to be extinguished.
