living in fear
it's in my gut
sometimes it rises
to the center of my being
it frightens me
this fear
the darkness of its shadow
lurking behind the scenes
I feel it
following me
attempting to alter my coarse
at the first sign of weakness
I drudge ahead
feeling its weight on my back
it taps my shoulder
and gives me a chill
oh fear
why do I give you so much power?
you don't deserve it
trying to overshadow my light
and yet, I give it to you
willingly ...
I give in so easily
wallowing in it
terrified by it ...
the darkness
the shadows
the wickedness
of my being
oh fear
come to get me
you know I will welcome you
as always ...
Fear
Beware and be aware,
No matter where you go,
Fear is in the air.
...hard to escape.

Wow! I forgot about this one.
Wow! I forgot about this one. Good to revisit as fear is indeed in the air...
(In fact, I just attended a retreat that was about facing them.) Thanks for directing me back to this older writing.
