A Reason For Fear

Fear how ever present you are. Sometimes I wish I could leave you somewhere, And come back only as me. Strong and free. Fear; I have never seen your face. I have never heard your voice but; I have always felt your presence. Even in my strongest moments, I feel you lurking close, Ready to grow even bigger. Fear; You put a break in my speed. You bring so much doubt & You make me falter... just a little. I am never sure if you are a friend or a foe. Fear; I have learnt to control your intensity over me. How I wish I could vanquish you completely. Somehow I know there is a reason for your being. It is for learning & growth. You make us pause and reflect; Before we succeed!
