Fears
Blood runs cold, goosebumps spread.
The power fear holds, messes with your head.
Whether a dark room or a slimy snake,
the form may change but the emotions remain.
Your bravery and next steps you take,
may or may not leave you in pain.
But fears aren't that always simple.
Most of them you can't control,
leaving you in the middle
and sometimes they eat you up whole...
Your mind goes blank and your heart starts to race.
Your feet start moving back while you cover your face.
"Don't run away." a voice whispers.
You freeze.
"Face it until it disappears...
with courage and ease."
