Painful Yet Breathtaking Fear


 

Uncontrollable fear,

that ignites a flame,

inside your heart,

inside your lungs.

It burns you,

destroys you,

all you feel is,

the painful fear.

Yet, with itself it brings something powerful,

breathtaking,

a determination that cloaks you with

bravery.

So, that you can overcome the pain

and receive

the breathtaking fear.
