Fear

Sweaty palms, clenched teeth

Thoughts racing and quivering feet

The stimulus that triggers our fight-or-flight

Body becomes alert -- ensuring nothing treads past its sight

Fear is always the cause. Fear is the reason. 

The reason why you can’t get yourself to go on that rollercoaster

why you may be afraid of public speaking or trying new things, 

why you're scared of the dark, and the creatures it brings

Fear, Pain, Anxiety. We have been engrained with it all.

It is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s okay to stumble and fall.

Overcoming a fear is difficult, it requires strength and bravery

It may take time, but the outcome is nothing short of savoury

With each challenge, one becomes stronger and wise

Unlocking the potential within you that lies

Embrace the unknown, with perseverance and grace,

and discover a world where fear has no place.
