WHAT IS FEAR.<br />
<br />
What is this fear I visualize,<br />
Is it right to rationalize.<br />
Dare I ask, or analyse.<br />
For fear it might me mesmerise.<br />
<br />
Fear can be so devastating<br />
Fear can be so debilitating<br />
Fear can also be disabling<br />
Yet fear can be so motivating.<br />
<br />
Fear-full of energy, full of power.<br />
A chemical cosh to make you cower.<br />
Instinctive emotion can curdle and sour.<br />
And can my confidence devour.<br />
<br />
A word of anxiety and worry for me.<br />
Of phobia and irrationality.<br />
I maybe scared of some big bully.<br />
Or maybe I’m simply scared of ME.<br />
<br />
I fear most all authority<br />
My fear might be mere monetary<br />
Some fears are elementary.<br />
And others contradictory.<br />
<br />
I wish to control my fearful emotions.<br />
To grasp hold of chaotic commotions.<br />
I haven’t a clue, nor nary a notion<br />
To stop this madness, this loco- motion.<br />
<br />
I don’t want my fears undercover,<br />
I don’t want to be a pushover<br />
I want to find a way to discover.<br />
A way forward, a way to recover.<br />
<br />
To banish my fears and stay in control<br />
To regain my strength and regain my soul.<br />
To have my life more fulsome and whole.<br />
And get back a life I feel fear had stole.<br />
