Fear

Fear consumes – impoverishes the soul and spirit, erases love; leaving a blank slate behind for evil to emblazon its worthless hallmark. Some blood and pen can give one fame and imagined security – but not a drip of priceless love.

Yes, fear is an arch villain taking away love, hope and many desirable qualities. So fear should be wiped out.

Fear is a killer; does a number on us in more ways than one. Thank you, Valsa.

Sigh.. yes, this is so true! Hollow fame game comes with loneliness and not a single drop of blood! Neither any empathy, nor any kindness.. it is in the light of almighty that the heart truly finds solace .. I absolute agree with what you've stated above fears! They really feed on our souls and leave nothing but a skeleton of inter-connected traumas. So many emotions you've evoked in such a few words! It's a pleasant reading you always, sending light and best wishes ✨🌸🕊️🌙🌹🕊️✨
