Good-bye Fear


Many a fear have I.

Many insects have had to die.

Socialization, spiders, death, and a bug.

Eventually these fears shall all be swept under the rug.

Fight the fear.

Don’t weep a tear.

We are stronger when we push forward.

Weakness we cannot afford.

Confidence I used to lack.

Now I stride through crowds like I’m on the attack.

I avoided social interaction.

It was time that I took action.

I pushed through.

I bid those fears adieu.

I plucked up the courage.

Now, those fears are locked away in permanent storage.
