&quot;Becoming fearless isn&#039;t the point. That&#039;s impossible. It&#039;s learning how to control your fear and how to be free from it. That&#039;s the point.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - FOUR, DIVERGENT

I waited a long while for Everybody.

Days, Weeks, Months, Years. 

Everybody turned a blind eye,

So I lowered my expectations and waitied for Somebody. 

 

I waited a while for Somebody.

Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks.

Somebody kept thinking while I kept asking,

So I eventually begged for Nobody to help.

 

I didn't have to wait for Nobody.

No countdown for someone who was consistent.

Nobody agreed, didn't keep standing and silently watching.

 

Because in the end, nobody helps.
