Instincts

In an instant would you know, if your instincts are the way to go? Making a move could cause a landslide, yet standing still could be the split-second that takes a mans life. Fear may grip us, holding us back while the adrenaline rushes to provoke an attack. It's a judgment call upon a razors edge, feel the sharpness intertwined with dread. A threat is made with vicious intent, in mere seconds a loved one could be dead. Our instincts are built in for a reason, like a defence against reasoning, called upon in that instant when you freeze up. Giving you the ability and strength to seize the moment, step up and abruptly diminish fear.
