Not Afraid Eminem Lyrics Novels & Stories

The barn lights flicker. Liam moves toward us, calm but firm. “Raven. Breathe. Focus. You can do this, but not if you let fear take over.” I squeeze my eyes shut, forcing air into my lungs. In. Out.

I only had a year to find my answers, no distractions was a good way to start. "Venus, honey, are you ready?" My mom called me from the kitchen, as I opened my bedroom door. "Yes, mom be right there." I called back. Walking towards the kitchen, I was singing Famous Last Words out loud. "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone, honey if you stay I'll be forgiven, Nothing you can say can stop me going home. Can you see my eyes are shining bright?

No one wanted to break this slow rhythm. “If I’m being honest,” Dylan began again, “I’m afraid of a lot of things. Fear of loss, fear of not being good enough, fear of making a mistake. But strangely…” I looked at him, waiting for him to continue. “I’m not afraid of you,” he said finally. “It’s not because you can’t hurt me, but because I believe that even if it happened, it wouldn’t be because you wanted to.”

Not afraid. Just determined.

Sienna's POV The words came honestly. They came without restraint. I was scared. Terrified, even. Scared that Emily wouldn't be there. Scared that we were already too late. Scared that all of this would end without answers again. Scared that Noah's story would remain unfinished. "I'm afraid of failing." My voice cracked. "I'm afraid we'll never find her."

But watching you stand alone All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow One step closer I have died every day waiting for Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love for a thousand more

A song I know Brooke loves, because she got all googly-eyed when it played in the Jeep on our way back from Denver. Admittedly, I’m not a great singer. My voice is too low for this song, so I’ll probably botch it, but I don’t really give a shit. I start in on the first verse, staring right at Brooke as I sing the words. “Maybe I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time, and maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you.”
