Fear

Fear, it's like a shadow in our hearts,
A feeling that can make us fall apart.
It's when we're scared of something near or far,
But we can learn from it, like a guiding star.

Sometimes it warns us of things to avoid,
Like dangers in the woods where creatures hide.
But in our lives today, it can make us hesitate,
It stop us from trying new things, or even close a gate.

Fear of the unknown, it's like a fear of what's new,
But remember, it's often where growth comes through.
If you're afraid to try something you've not done before,
Take a step, be brave, and open a new door.

Fear of failing, it's when we're scared to make a mistake,
But it's through our failures that we learn and awake.
So don't let it hold you back or make you hide,
Keep pushing forward, with each stumble, you'll stride.

Fear of being rejected, it's when we're scared to connect,
But relationships and love are what we should protect.
Don't be afraid to open your heart wide,
For friendship and love are worth the ride.

Fear of change, it's when we're scared of what's new,
But change is something we all go through.
Adapting and growing is how we survive,
So embrace it, and watch your life thrive.

Fear of the past, it's when old memories haunt,
But we can't change the things that once taunt.
Forgive, let go, and find peace today,
The past can't control you, it can't make you sway.

Fear, it's like a teacher, offering us advice,
Helping us make choices that are wise.
But don't let it take over, you're in control here,
With courage and wisdom, you can conquer your fear.

Let's not be scared, face fears strong,
With courage, we can prove them wrong.
Fear can teach us, but won't control our way,
In the end, love and hope have their say.

Take on each challenge, step into the light,
With a heart unburdened, take a fearless flight.
Fear might stick around, but it can't hold us down,
With our strength and guts, we'll wear victory's crown.

In life's journey, through every twist and bend,
We'll learn from fear, we'll grow, we'll ascend.
So, let's beat our worries, rise high, no tear,
A future awaits where we live with no fear.

Wonderful! A fave! You have pondered much about fear. I was a shy student. When I was in my twenties, I read a book about shyness and realized it had to do with fear. So I worked to overcome my fear, have stepped outside my comfort zone. People today don’t believe me when I tell them I used to be shy.

Beautiful poetry Ariana. I especially like stanza seven. Fear can paralyze us or teach us lessons. Reverential fear of God being the best teacher of all
