Fear
I have always dreaded your company; but you are here,
I never requested for your amity; but you are so near,
I have never needed your opinion; but I do things your way,
You were my companion; but I’m pleased to say that you are not.
I wanted you to leave but you stayed; it’s that your grip,
You are even closer than I thought; we are joined at the hip,
I never do anything special; cos you make me feel like a mediocre,
You make me do things of no value; things that are meager.
When you are around; my heart nearly escapes my chest,
You make my face turn red and my limbs become numb,
You make the knot in my stomach tighter; real unrest,
You send a chill down my spine; like an overwhelming bomb.
So I say farewell fear; because courage is at my doorway,
I’ve waited for far too long; to be set free from your obsession,
I say goodbye fear; because strength is at arm’s length away,
Thanks to Jesus; finally I’m no longer your possession.
