Fear

FEAR

Feeling tired, washed up, drained
Moody, irritated, relationships strained 
Life’s journey just filled with inevitables
Questions answered in mono syllables

What initiates this fearful  condition
Invades your space without permission
Starts out small yet urgently this knot in the gut
Leaves you nowhere but sadly stuck in a rut

Attacks your senses blurs your vision
Negative thoughts follow with precision 
This surgery will change you to the core
You’ll think a woman not loved anymore

Fear is the venom a tragic lethal dose
Remember when fear comes faith goes
Though this body of death will eventually decay
Just identify the positives in each new day
 

When negative thoughts your mind assail
Encompass it with faith drape it like a veil
Dispel those thoughts send a message clear
You are wonderfully made with nothing to fear
