Man's worst enemy: Fear


Fear is not a concept, but a limitation

Which disables risk across the nation.

Overcoming these fears is the key

To allow you to become, to be.

Fear only disables perception

And causes us to make an exception

To avoid the problem at hand

And change what we originally planned.

When life is going so swell,

The past makes our fears dwell

On the negatives possibilities of chance

Which only further enhance

The strength that fear gives

Ensuring fear always lives.

Overcoming fear is hard

But when done can seem like art.

It will help spread your wings

And let you soar as it brings

Growth, peace, and jollity

As it reveals your true humanity.
