fear of myself

My mind struggles to be free
of limits I once thought set by society.
I feel my soul struggling against the confines,
of fears I have of crossing my own lines.
How can I teach my children to be strong,
When I've been hiding these fears all along?
My hypocrisy shames me, dulls my senses,
Creates a wall, self imposed fences.
When I face this person, this me I call stranger,
when I meet her and face head on this false danger.
This is when I will begin for the first time to live,
and to know all the gifts that I have to give.
The limits are created ultimately by me,
and only by confronting them, will I be free.
