Fear is a Coward

https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif

F E A R

Dominating in its presence

A ghost in the night

Grinning incessantly

Void of distinction

Heavy in person-hood

Making aware danger and hazard

Shouting in my brain

Thieving joy

Weighed down while weakness sprouts

Suffocating anxiety

Controlling every move

A pulsating vile coward

Living with belief

Avoidance would work                                   

The grind-thru-it model

Well whittled

Ignorance at every turn

Avoided in anxieties wave

Failing miserably

Told it’s only godly to fear God

Not anything or anyone else

Shamed for being fearful of dark

Left alone

Instinctively knowing fear is required to survive

A new realization

What would happen

If “fear” receives an evite?

A welcomed guest

At an uneasy table

No avoidance

Facing fear eye to eye

A stare down of sorts

A light pops on

The more embraced

The more movement to beyond

Experiencing freedom

Clearing out the haunted within

I wonder

Is fear the coward?

Am I the coward?

It can be both

It can be neither

Often a combo deal

It’s normalized

Fear is common to everybody

Every mind

Hidden better in some

Some scaling the fear mountain higher

All striving out of bondage

A changed stance for fear

A serious scowl

Be aware

Beware of danger

Neutral

No judgement

Doing the job meant to do

No longer fearing fear

Moving forward into the vast future
