Fear Is the Only True Opponent
Fear is life's only true opponent
Fear is a clever treacherous adversary
It is known throughout history
It has no decency
It respects no law or society
And above all, it shows no mercy!
It searches for the weakest spot
It finds it quickly and then it
Puts your life in a knot
Fear begins in the mind and
Makes you blind to the power of your destiny
Fear disguises itself in doubt and
This gives way to the avenue of disbelief
Fear brings a level of anxiety
As your emotion starts to weaken
Soon you forget that there is a beacon of hope
You think you cannot cope but
In reality, you are stronger than any storm
As an individual of time, the heart must
Reach its prime against all odds!
The sun sets as evening approaches but
Nothing can stop the sun from rising in the morning
And even though fear is life’s only true opponent
Hope is ever present and hope shines in the darkness
