Fear Is Liar

That which we call fear in our elusive world
Is nothing but an inner fire seeking to be unfurled

A feeling which we receive from our interactions
From those who bear with us, similar tractions

Fear is a liar, it is meant to be swallowed
As it is that which hinders us to have victory bellowed

All we should do with it, is turn it into an inner drive
Breathe it in, slowly, and thanking it to allow us to be alive

And push ourselves on our paths, confident
Aware that our confidence is in us, a force, potent!

Fear is nothing but a test from that power which bid us be
To see if we believe in it, if in its faith, our paths we can see

If our love for its essence remains pulsing
If upon its tunes we keep vibrating

Fear is set out to be a friend and not an enemy
All we need to do is to tame it, calmly and boldly!

And it shall be our most powerful weapon
Capable of shielding our glass houses from the fated stone!

"Fear is set out to be a friend and not an enemy All we need to do is to tame it, calmly and boldly!".... Some amount of fear is necessary to refrain ourselves from plunging into too challenging and daring acts. But fear shouldn't be allowed to grow into indomitable proportions. We have to tame it. Well said, Anoucheka...
