Fear Factors

Collect the fears you have in place ,
stare them down face to face ,
take a stand to end duress
or life may breed unhappiness.

Indiscretions have a way,
of stalking you from yesterday,
apologize for each one
then move on, what’s done is done.

If present chaos turns to fear,,
money, family, home, career,
in a world of options, make a change
simplify or re-arrange.

Tomorrow’s outcomes? Just a guess,
plan a future devoid of stress,
what’s yet to be is yet to be
cast fear aside, claim victory.

Psychologically it’s  clear,
the biggest thing to fear is fear.
