Feedback - flight or fight – it’s due to enzymes.
God put it in our brain, safeguard for crimes;
fear is normal, a good thing many times.
Facts fog up when fear uses its strong-arm.
What is meant to keep us sheltered from harm
can fail just like any other alarm.
A freeze from fear forces all hands on deck.
When fears become phobias, take time, check
your fear can be a liar, a roughneck.
Facing the fact of a fear of failure
pray to God; ask others to help for sure.
With effort on your end, you’ll find a cure.
Focus on the freedom you can achieve
when your irrational fear goes on leave.

This is a reasonnet - four tercets rhymed AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD, and a couplet rhymed EE. I have used pentameter, but that is not required according to the creator of this form, Reason A. Poteet (yes, that's me).

You ask a probing question - why am I me?
I write these words and lines to help you see
the who, what and how of my probity.
Offering my most genial reply,
the abc's here prove to specify
why, made in God's image, his path I ply.
Announcing Bold Convictions, I do
Declare Essential Faith unto you.
Gladly Herald, Introducing folks to
Jesus - King - Lord, His most precious name.
Maligned? Nullify, Openly Proclaim;
Questioned? Reasonably Speak Truth without shame.
Uttering Vocal Worship Xenial-ly,
Yahweh’s Zephyr, with integrity.
*xenially is the Greek form of the English word, genially.
the form is my own, a reasonnet, 14 lines, monorhymed by stanza.
