WHAT IS FEAR.
What is this fear I visualize,
Is it right to rationalize.
Dare I ask, or analyse.
For fear it might me mesmerise.
Fear can be so devastating
Fear can be so debilitating
Fear can also be disabling
Yet fear can be so motivating.
Fear-full of energy, full of power.
A chemical cosh to make you cower.
Instinctive emotion can curdle and sour.
And can my confidence devour.
A word of anxiety and worry for me.
Of phobia and irrationality.
I maybe scared of some big bully.
Or maybe I’m simply scared of ME.
I fear most all authority
My fear might be mere monetary
Some fears are elementary.
And others contradictory.
I wish to control my fearful emotions.
To grasp hold of chaotic commotions.
I haven’t a clue, nor nary a notion
To stop this madness, this loco- motion.
