Just wrote this a few minutes ago in about 10 minutes (haha!). It’s not quite a poem, and it’s not quite a song, either. Well, I do have a tune in my head, but I have no idea how to put it to song. (story of my life!) Anyways, this is about… being fearless in my old age. Being fearless brings on some wonderful things, and I can’t wait to live the rest of my life unafraid of what’s to come. Enjoy!
“Fearless” was written on November 15, 2021 and is contained in my personal poetry book for Oct-Nov 2021, ‘Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.”
“Fearless” by Brian Bolding
Oh no I won’t let my fear
Of the future get in the way
I’ve got too much life to spend
No more dwelling about yesterday
*
I’m not the boy I used to be
Now I’m a man with a big strong heart
I’m not the boy I thought I was
A little Self-awareness is a good place to start
*
(Chorus)
Today I’m fearless
Fearless for what’s to come
Today I’m fearless
No longer bitter and numb
Today I’m fearless
Fearless for what’s to come
I may be your brother
But I march to a different drum
*
Oh no I won’t let my apprehension
Of old bad decisions cloud my head
It’s time to put one foot in front of the other
Oh man how my heart bled
Crying over people who never loved me
As much as I deserved to be loved
Screaming over people who used me
I never realized until I was shoved
*
(Chorus 2)
Baby I’m fearless
Fearless of what’s to come
Baby I’m fearless
No longer a day late and love dumb
Baby I’m fearless
Fearless of what’s to come
Today I’m fearless
And I’m gonna go get me some.
