Fret not

Fret not by Adejola Joseph 
Fret not 
Fear is a beast
It invades you if you allow it 
It conquers you if you succumb to it
But fear is powerless 
On its own it cannot bite 
So, fret not 
I see fear in a glance 
It's like a shadow in a trance 
So, fret not 
Leave!
Grief!
Fear!
Shadow!
Blank!
Fear is a wanderer 
A roaming spirit 
So, fret not 
Fear is a toothless dog
A virgin's fright
So, fret not 
Nothing can kill me 
No fear can harm me 
Invisible as wind
The unkillable
Fear not 
Fret not 
Fear.
