Contest by Miranda Hawley.

Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears. Simultaneously you need courage, most essential to overcome fear : Dear ! Don't put yourself imprisoned in a cage. Proceed prompt, active, being dynamic : Fear sure to flee away! Have confidence. Optimistic approach fully frolic. Apply your wisdom with intelligence. To chase fear, sufficient is not wisdom. There are other colours like confidence, competence, intellect in life- spectrum, also accompanied by diligence. To remove absolute your fear factor, with wisdom use courage in each sector.

I like the fact that you gave other things that work together to calm fears. Early on you mentioned courage, then later had words such as competence, intellect and came back to courage. Your poem was a recipe to calm fears. Congratulations on your win in my contest.
