What is fear?



Our deepest fear is not what keeps us up at night,

its what we believe to be wrong.

It is what makes us put of a fight,

and our actions turn to song.

It's the urge your mother taught you to stand for

but always seem to be beyond control

It's facing the war

the resides inside our soul.
