-The Fear In Your Head


Don’t let the fear in your head

 Guide or influence your days

Don’t let it take control

Allowing it to have its own way


I know its not easy

It is such a hard battle to fight

Determined and persistent

Fears destructive grip is unbearably tight


It is so easy to give in

To fears crippling hold

Real strength and willpower required

So by your fear…. you are not controlled!

Hi Deb, Great idea. But….most live in danger and refuse to see what s coming their way. Not all people are as sweet as you! Thus, countries really write their own history. It is like crossing the streets in our lives wearing blinders,or…not callng the firemen FOF when your living room is on fire. Denial is huge! People eat and drink themselves to death. We are not indestructible.. it is the way I feel hardlly advice! Just my POV. Love you Pangie

Yes, yes and yes. When making a decision, let no fear decide. As you point out, easy to say but hard to always do. Let's print this on posters! Well done.
