I'M Not Afraid

I feel the fear of failure,
I feel the fear of fear.
It creeps up like a deathly ghost,
Feeling and feeding off me.

I have to be brave and fight my fear,
Fight my fear away.
Fight away the deathly ghost,
For tomorrows another day.

I knew you was a fighter Simon, fear should have no control. On saying that I cannot rid my fear of spiders or heights... Emilia : )

Bravo! Fears and desires thirst ~ yet the imaginary bubbles burst ~ if we look at them in nonchalance ~ bubbling in joyous innocence
