Face Your Fears

I use to be afraid of so much in this world,
I would tip toe through each day like some frightened little girl,
then one day I realized that I can't just run and hide from life.
If someone pulls a gun on me, I'll pull out my knife.
Face your fears, stare them down.
Don't be scared, hold your ground,
because nothing is as scary as it appears,
all you have to do is face your fears.

Real good write Billy, you tackle this well as a good example of us who need to face our fears. Fine one to make us ponder!

The fearful flips and becomes a warrior princess. No tiara just battle hardened and strengthened. Good write.

Made me smile Billy - I have JUST overcome my phobia of needles and went for a blood test on my own for the first time ever on Tuesday - had the phobia since I was about 13 (ie many many years lol) but now I have cracked it:-) hugs Jan xx
