William Darnell Sr Poet Free verse

Fear

Wherever you go, 
Or whatever you do
Fear knows no boundaries
It will likely come and find you.

It will make you suffer endlessly, 
Until you have known
The courage to love it
Unconditionally.

Instead, learn from your fears, 
It will take great courage
Learn to embrace your demons. 

If you can't learn from your fears,
Then you won't know to embrace peace
It's ok, though, fear of the unknown? 
You simply won't know, and it's ok.

Deb M November 6, 2022 at 1:42 AM Hi William….I truly enjoyed reading your words of wisdom. I agree with what you say…..embrace your fears instead of fighting them. Easier said than done but definite the best way to deal with it. I am a work in progress but i do try. Fear is such a powerful emotion and can be terribly destructive. Well said….Debx William Darnell Sr November 6, 2022 at 1:52 AM Hi, Deb! Thanks for stopping in to comment. I have learned this throughout my lifetime, but, I too have my demons I deal with. It's a catch twenty-two. I appreciate you have taken the time to comment and visit. Best of Wishes, William

William Darnell Sr November 6, 2022 at 1:21 AM Hello, Raven! Yes, but I have learned to embrace them because my fears have made me who I am today.
