DON'T BE AFRAID

      Don't be afraid of darkness my dear child
There are no monsters out there that hides
Darkness is simply the absence of light
It helps you being calm to rest at night

Don't be afraid of pain my little one
Pains makes you tough as a woman
It's okay to cry because of pain
It makes you feel better while healing

Don't be afraid of criticism my precious daughter
They are reminders to make you someone better
Criticism are just minor corrections
For you to follow the right course and direction

Don't be afraid to make mistakes little kid
Mistakes are integral part before you succeed
Life is full of trial and errors
Just keep going for you to learn more

One day you'll succeed, always remember
The lessons you learned in life you must also share 
For now, go ahead enjoy life and never be afraid
Because you have this little poem, as your light and guide. Bow!
