Fear of Fear

Let leave this uncontented mind
     That clings to hate for fear of change
     Such pain of sight that keeps me blind
     When light to dawn could be as strange

     As fear of loss renounces love
     So dreams are stilled before their due
     My relevance is to rise above
     With heart to bravely live life true...

Winged Warrior Date: 2/22/2017 9:27:00 PM Should have placed Charlie...don't know about that Seeker dude lol...god bless...^WW^ Login to Reply Charlie Smith Date: 2/22/2017 11:30:00 PM Didn't get it entered in time, doesn't really matter, I hardly ever place well in the contests, I like to enter though.
