Fear

It grips you like a dying man On his last breath with regret to reveal It weighs you down like cement Tied to your legs before entering the water It drives you crazy like the second hand Running in circles on the clock Fear is debilitating like a missing leg Preventing you from standing up for yourself A war forever waged across the battlefield of life Each victory prepares you for the next fight Each defeat sends you running in retreat Fear is a guest not welcome in your home Do not let it past the threshold Fear is a tenant not paying rent Evict it before it tears your building down We all have within us the tools to succeed Use strength as your hammer Confidence as your nails Constructing your salvation Building your freedom Once completed, maintain it you must For fear has no place In your brave new world
