Dear Fear


Dear Fear, your hold is meek But your talons rip and tear Through the sensitive flesh you seek, Of those that find you hard to bare. Your power lies in finding strength And pulling at its fragile seams. You barely cover have the length But can still devour all our dreams. Today, I make a vow to stand Against your preying eyes And wretched, weakening hands, To expel your energy with my sighs. From now until my days are done I will conquer all you've won.
