Fear

Here’s the poem for Day Four of National Poetry Month:

Fear

Fear will bare its teeth,

threatening to bite you,

but it will never even

reach out to you. It

doesn���t have to. Fear

knows the power it

has over you. And that

is enough. He���s sure you

won���t fight back, bite back

���cuz you never do.

Remember that time you

wanted more than anything

to kiss that little girl who

you liked so much. You

watched her for years

until you became

paralyzed

from fear. If you had

just walked over, she

would have kissed you

first. And remember

that time you wanted

to see the world, but

instead you chose to

stay home and watch

TV.

Now you know

that fear knows you

are no competitor for

him. And man won���t

it kill you to know

you don���t need an

arsenal of weapons

to defeat fear, all you

need is a desire to win.

Fear can only defeat you

if you let him.

Peace & Love lovelies,

Rosalind
