Fear: A Poem


Fear is an amazing stop sign. 
It grips us and holds us in place.
It keeps us from doing what we want.   

I used to be fearless.
Now I am fearful.
Does fear grab you?   

Does it hold you tightly?
Keeping you from breathing?
Keeping you from living out your dreams?   

I want to conquer fear.
Shuck it off me.
Stomp it down.   

What about you?
Do you, too?
Can we conquer fear apart?   

Together?
Overcome?
Then live?
