Fear
Fear…
Fear is a shudder,
It is trepidation,
It is danger,
But most of all,
It is a never-ending feeling of evil and desolation
Fear…
Fear is blind,
Fear is disparaged by a mans actions,
It is a beacon of despair through the eyes of mankind.
But in my eyes…
Fear is how we see… how we feel, how we act,
Fear is a guide through a world of uncertainty,
a guide, through life itself.
Fear…
Fear is will,
It is hope,
It is benevolent.
fear is how we eat, how we breathe, and how we live,
it is all this, masked by an optical illusion of
evil and despair that has blinded man.
Many great men deny fear,
But I believe it is how we continue to live.
Fear gives us worry,
It gives us the dread of death…
Fear is inevitable; one cannot get rid of it,
One can only overcome it with courage.
So fear must be embraced by courage
to propel a man forward in life.
A fearless man has nothing to live for,
While a fearing man has much to die for.
