the fear that runs within

On the edge, the darkness cascades 

A waterfall of fear 

A mind,body, and soul 

Clouded by which they refuse to hear 

A look down amongst the abyss 

Enough to spark the rapid thumps of one’s hearts 

A reassurance, claiming content 

Refusal of something new 

Pulling you back, scared of the unknown 

In fear of what it may do 

All it takes, a jump towards the end with no light 

For a person can never know unless they take a giant step of might 

And once the jump is done 

There is no going back 

Engulfed by the feeling of what was once the unknown 

No longer hidden, the light shown 

No longer cowered, by the constant dark 

New adventures set, ready to embark 

What once held you back, now set free, 

For fear does nothing, but stop thee.
