Death and Taxes

Death and Taxes Death enters our lives and fear draws its breath each day that we wake until it leaves us in death Outpacing mortality would surely set man free to leave our worries behind in total transcendency Fear motivates anxiety, causing concern and dissension physical and mental burdens of overwhelming contention We are encircled by fear like Earth upon its axis Trepidation intimidates us like death and taxes There are only two ways in which to overcome fear To become immortal or die, it’s simply that clear Don’t allow darkness to capture our heart and mind Facing crippling fears head on will keep them confined Fear anchors itself in the roots of fears that we feel Once we stop feeding them, our maladies will heal 8/23/2021

Excellent depiction of how fear grabs hold of us and causes stress. We cannot ignore them or they will grow, deeply rooted inside of us.
