Peer Into Fear

Category:Emotions,Fear,Growth,Learning,Poem

It’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.

With some poems, the meaning behind them isn’t so clear– yours is very clear. Although I have the MS, I am looking forward to the actual book arriving. Best of luck!
