I Choose to be Worry Fear Free
As soon as the snake bites you
You can stop being terrified of snakes
It is a smaller pinch than you imagined
I know a child who was terrified of bees
The sting was not as horrifying
As the fear that had been instilled in him by his grandma
A raccoon ran across my foot one day
I would have been horrified if I had known ahead of time
Something I could have feared
But I missed the opportunity.
Now I think of it and I smile.
Fear is debilitating; it limits me.
It takes away my joy.
I choose to be worry-fear-free now.
