Afraid

I was afraid,

I was always fearful of the unknown.

I was afraid of being afraid.

I prayed, asking God for his help.

asking him "please make me brave;

 make me strong enough. 

Im not asking to take away my fear,

but to give me enough courage to match it."

Then I met you,

and I was more afraid.

Afraid, that I wouldn't be good enough.

That I would be just another 'girl'

Since then, I've Prayed every night.

I am afraid at times,

 but not as much as I am brave. 

I'm not fearful of life

and not as afraid of rejection.

I now know something I didn't know before,

I have nothing to loose.

I believe God gave me you to teach me,

to make me push myself.

I know we just met,

but I believe God gave me you.

To be honest I'm a bit confused by what you're trying to do with this poem. At first it sounded like a cry for help from God, but there doesn't seem to be any answer from Him. Then I guess God answered your prayers by giving you someone to love? But there seems to be a lot of hope, but also some fear is still present. I still say it's good though. Good job
