Be Not Fear's Prisoner

refuse to 
     be imprisoned 
          by fear;
               you hold the key 
                    to unlock yourself 
                         from a dark 
                              dungeon... 

that arrests 
     your mind 
          and traps your 
               mighty wings 
                  f e a r  IS  a  l i a r 
                         telling you you can't fly,
                              but...

you know you can soar!

(Yalto)

Well-composed, Edward. A very suitable form and presentation for the thoughts of fear being a liar. I enjoyed your positive note.

You always shine in Yalto form you invented, Edward. Essence of fear succinctly delivered.
