this fear

Unburried roots
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.
