Peter Onyancha Poet Prose Poetry

Face To Fear

There is nothing to fear
Tomorrow at the second hour 
And thirty counts of my wrist
I have an appointment with Fear!
I will face it, without fear
I will face it, face to fear
I will tell fear, these fearless words
Fear, I shall say -
I fear you no more!
And fear shall look back
And tremble with fear!
Then when I come back
I fear for the great things
With fear gone to follow
And I shall no longer
Have an appointment with fear!
Then fear shall fear me
And respect me.
