Freedom from Fear...
Fear stalks me,
Throughout this path,
The UNKNOWN creeping about,
Full of anticipation.
Anticipating the moment,
In which I flee,
From its horror,
My FEAR.
As I walk ALONE
Without a shred of dignity,
I feel that I’m no longer
Alone.
A comfort,
Unwavering and steady,
Comes to my side,
And I think.
The UNKNOWN,
Is only the UNKNOWN,
While it is a mystery.
I must face its mystery.
I feel it.
In the bushes,
Shadowed in darkness,
My shoulders become squared.
I walk towards it,
With nothing to fear.
I near it and finally discover,
What has terrorized me.
A wisp of ghost,
Smaller than myself,
Wraith-like in its
Inevitable fading.
No more will this
Fragment of fear,
Make me quake
Or hesitate.
I have destroyed it,
Faced it down,
Obliterated it
Into nothing.
I am free.
