Fear is the enemy
You cannot see
It hides inside of me
Deep in your heart
Ripping your life apart
Fear is the one word that can paralyze
As vast as the skies
Yet I am not afraid
To me fear is just a game
Hiding behind a human mask
This is my task
To eradicate all fear
I will not shed a single tear
So don't let fear take you over
Just never give into fear
Safety may not be as it seems
As silence gleams in the darkness
To keep yourself safe by doing one thing
Be yourself

The author's comments:
I wrote this from my own fear, which in the end almost consumed me. The one thing that rescued me was my fear itself. To be myself and who I really am is a writer.
