Doubt Your Fear

Fear lies in wait, anticipating dreams; 
then, shreds them bit by bit as each ascends. 
But, just afore, allows one great embrace; 
ensuring well-earned praise for crafty schemes.

Silent One Date: 12/23/2019 5:24:00 AM Fear leads to all negative aspects.. great choice for this contest.. Login to Reply Hello There Date: 12/26/2019 5:55:00 PM I changed my original title "Fear is no Friend", because I thought of the circumstance where fear can actually keep you on your toes under very dire circumstances. Thank you so much, Silent One!
