Fear
There is an emotion that is often well hidden.
We can hide it so well,
we feel it's forbidden.
To express of it freely would appear us too weak,
so we keep it inside us, leaving others to seek.
At times it is camouflaged, expressed by strange actions.
We create ways to hide it with the art of distractions.
Fear can be misjudged into something bad,
it can make you very anxious,
it can make you feel sad.
It's the oldest emotion known to mankind.
It's here to keep us moving,
keeps us active in mind.
Being frightened is an experience you cannot buy,
whether it be starting new relationships, or flying high in the sky.
Face fear as it finds you with courage and strength,
learn not to keep it way out at arms length.
