Dear Fear

Dear Fear, I remember the first time you were here. First day of my new school, my grandma warned me…, It’s a bad world, my girl, that won’t like you to be free. Remember these words, they will protect you for life. I thought she was shielding me, but she was just preparing me to be someone’s wife. Dear Fear, I see you’ve been fooling me since then, keeping me from raising my voice, scaring me with terrible whispers, again and again. You had my grandma’s face , but there was something off with your voice. I noticed... but I was conditioned that way. I had no choice. But things are different now, you see, I’ve decided to be the real me. Things were much better when you weren’t here. Dear Fear, it’s clear... you are not welcome anywhere near. I’m not going to pass you on to the next generation, Give me back the reins you placed on my imagination. Dear Fear, you’ve done enough, You’ve never been a friend, So I’m writing this letter to inform you... for you, THIS IS THE END.
