Peer Into Fear
Category:Emotions,Fear,Growth,Learning,PoemIt’s there,
Within more and more of us,
Waiting to be seen
And acknowledged.
But many of us
Are afraid of our fear.
We view it
As a sign of weakness.
So we hide from our fear.
But until we see our fear,
We’ll be ruled by it
And it will limit our potential.
We need to look for it,
Explore it,
Understand why it’s there,
And how it limits us.
That’s the launchpad
For moving beyond our fear.
It will move us
To draw out emotions
That will help us
To act
In spite of fear.
That’s the paradox –
We need to see the fear
To move beyond it.
