I'M Not Afraid Poem by Jacob Bjork

There is a space to grow
And now I know
That I can show this world
All my reds and blues
That’s my cue to say,
'I will never be alone'

I've found a new home
And I can't get away
I found some beautiful shade
A place to rest my head
And catch my breath

There's a song in my head
Telling me to let go of everything I know
It sings inside of me
Saying the future is what I’ll hear
Because now I’m really here
Not just in my mind
Wondering when this will die

A light has been sent
From out of the sky, into my life
I can feel it through my veins
Taking away the pain
I've only just begun to shake

To shake this earth and
Prove to every one of you
There doesn't have to be so much hurt
And with that I’ll leave my final word,
'Only you can make this work'
