THE FEAR OF FEAR

THE FEAR OF FEAR.
This feeling is unpleasant and can make you impuisant
Fear is instinctive, learned and taught
It dictates the action you take
It is more an enemy than an ally, so I thought


The tiny innocent insect skim by,
I screamed in holy fright,
Fear send my subconscious mind on a journey,
It kept me locked up in the cage of insecurity.


I enjoy that part of my day,
When I lay in my bed, ready to slip into dreamland.
How sad all the scenarios I had conjured in my mind,
Words I have left unsaid.
If only I had the courage to speak.
But I was afraid, I was scared to say.


I am afraid of being heartbroken
I am in trepidation of being rejected
People will vibrate if it end up in divorce
Or what if I become widowed?
Oh no that I can't conjure
This is the reason I remain single.


For the fear of failure,
I deprived myself the pleasure of success.
I look into the dark ahead,
I gave up even before I began
Because I am afraid of the unknown.
The fear of what I know that is not working out is a force enough to reckon with.


The fear of fear is saturnine
The more scared I feel, the scarier things become.
The ingression of fear into my mind
Is like a hive invading the hood of man.


Fear has a snide personality,
It is always ready to wreak havoc
I tried too hard to eliminate fear
But it is an herculean task
I end up having a fear of of fear.

Fear sometimes keeps us humanly alive. It is an enemy yet an ally. Fear should be leveraged not eliminated.

A lot of things happen in life, yes! The blind can see that, the deaf can hear it, the dumb are saying it again and again, it is crystal clear, thus, we conclude that life does not give us want we want or deserve, life seems or it is not fair to everyone. We strive for greatness, then something goes so wrong that we find it difficult to take a step further. Hence, the "when life gives you lemon, make lemonade". It is a fact that lemon is sour and lemonade is sweet. Making lemon  into lemonade means turning an unpleasant situation into a pleasant one.

A Letter To Mr Death

By -
Old Mr Death, I have a complaint against your nefarious deeds. Yes, I know you are inevitable But I hate the fact that you are inconsiderate You are a foe of all races, Putting fear in the face of humanity. How dare you? You took our loved ones and left us in pain You turned a sweet home sour You set our lives in jeopardy. How could you ruthlessly pull the child's life like a tooth? Their happiness you mercilessly devour, this I yearn the sooth. Your cruelty knows no measure Don't you have a heart or it is made of stone?  You leave every house you visit in mourning You wickedly snatch the only child of a widow Leaving the walls and sands wailing Her being and joy leaped out the window. You gladly feed on the good, leaving the wicked to rot You took the young lad with dreams, how unthoughtful of you He was on the track to achieving greatness Until you came and snatched him away Here I wonder what his offense was. You are like the air in all nations A...
