Fear of Fear


Fear is difficult

It comes in all shapes and sizes

But to overcome fear is the most difficult part of being scared

It takes power

It takes time

When realizing that without fear you may not be fine

Is fear a good thing? 

Does it keep us safe?

No-one will know

Without striving for great

It is scary to wonder

What lies in the unknown

will never be discovered

Unless we find ourseleves 

consistently uncovered

Until we try something new,

we will always question

If Fear is Fear in itself,

Or if its an amazing human function
