Fear

January 28, 2018

Dear Fear,

You are forever my companion

Following me as a shadow on my mind

Many times you grow, enveloping me in darkness

You cannot be beaten, but I can control you

I can tame you, train you to never overwhelm me

I can learn to keep you as a shadow, walking by my side
