The Day I Met Fear

Today I shook the hand of Fear And he directed me to a brick wall He said I had to get over it in order To get through it all He said he wasn't there to kill my dreams But to show me just how hard And that the better part of it Would be the longest yard He also said that I had the choice To delve or just give it up Cause the reward on the other side would be to fulfill my empty cup I stood back to look up the wall And said "destiny here I come" I wasn't going to let fear of accomplishment Think that he had won I put on the armor of Fierceness And began my treacherous climb Positive that I could get over it And obtain what was mine Fear stood back and watched me climb Unsure of what I could do As I approached the top, I turned to tell him... "I just made a fool of you"
