Patience

fears of the unknown
live inside of me
and though i try to calm them
they creep up on me everyday
but each day i'm a little stronger
a little more aware of who i am
if i could rush time
and finally just get to that place
the place where i am free and at peace
i know life would be much simpler
i lack the patience but not the drive
there are so many reasons, aside from me
to keep going when i'm afraid and alone
and even when i am not
