Fear


Fear...

        that four letter word

        that holds so much power

something different for everyone

something that can shut us down...

              ...or wake us up...

 

It drives us to our limit

     either insanity or bravery

It opens our minds to a potential

     either fight or flight

 

What we do with that drive

what we do with this fear

determines our choices which

determines our character

 

Fear has a beauty

Fear has us realize what we love

That love gives us our fear

That fear is losing what we love
