Fear

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" - Franklin D. Roosevelt


Fear is the friend,
Fear is the foe,
An emotion most important,
that we need, to grow.

The emotion most primal,
is what kept us alive.
In the ancient forests,
it helped us survive.

Every living being,
in his life experiences fear.
It comes in many forms,
Some indistinct and some clear.

But when this fear takes over,
nameless, unjustified, unreasoning.
Be fearful of this fear my friend,
It ruins lives without meaning.

It is your life, take it in your hands.
Beat the fear, Don't be overcome.
If you don't, remember
Your fate will be gruesome.
