Fear
We had a storm the other night ,
It gave me cause to stop and write,
About how our life is like being afloat,
On the Sea of life,tossed like a boat.
Sometimes it is calm and we enjoy life,
Then all of a sudden it's full of strife.
If you stay in the boat it may feel safe,
But your problems remain to rub and chafe.
There are some times, you have to step out
into the stormy sea so you can look about.
The sea is vast, and your problems may loom,
Not dealing with them will not give you room,
To grow and to change to better yourself,
Fear is four letters that that try to conceal,
False Evidence Appearing Real.
