Fear grips my heart, tight and cold, As I contemplate a decision so bold. Will choosing to end a life within me, Drive away those who mean everything to me? The thought haunts my every waking hour, Will they judge me, turn away in their power? Will they see me as less, as unworthy, If I make a choice that's so controversial and scary? I hold my fears close, like a precious gem, Worried that I'll lose them all in the end. But deep down I know, I must face my truth, And trust that those who truly love me, will never be aloof. So I take a breath, and steel my resolve, Knowing that my choice is mine to absolve. I may lose some along the way, But true love and support will always stay. Fear may grip me, but courage wins in the end, For I am strong, no matter what may bend. I'll face my fears, and stand tall and true, Knowing that in the end, love will see me through.
