Fear

Fear is here

fear is there

fear is around us

everywhere.

Fear is yours

and fear is mine

fear is inside us

counting the time.

Fear can slay us

fear can crush us

fear will help to

squash us and push us.

Fear for this

and fear for that

fear just wants to

pull till you snap.

Fear is frightened

fear is scared

fear can show us

how problems are shared.

Fear is only

as big as you let it

fear will help you

be strong and forget it.

Fear is wise

fear is smart

fear is inside

your soul and your heart.

Fear is only

the tool of your mind

fear will help you

be strong and unwind

Fear will promise

fear will cry

fear will listen

when you stand up and try.

Fear will shrivel

and fear will hide

fear will go running

to a place far outside.
