Fangs of terror grip us tight,
Jellied knees, sweating palms, palpitating heart,
Body ready for flight!
Head in a swirl, cold sweat dripping down your spine..
Goosebumps, throat parched with the inaudible whine !
Fear of failure, fear of non – acceptance,
Fear of Ridicule, fear of unwanted dependance.
Fear of heights, insects, strangers, crowd,
Fear of death, destruction and noises loud!
Fear of closed spaces, fear of separation
Can drive you to desperation.
FEAR – a strong yet crippling emotion.
Retards your functionality,
Reduces your mobility,
And if persistent, can scar your personality!
Hallucinations, Delusions and ringing ears,
An outcome of your suppressed fears
A healthy mind leads to a healthy body,
Open up, interact, make friends, confide,
Relax, do not try your emotions to hide.
Laughter they say is the best medicine
Crying to release tension is not a sin!
Live Life to the fullest –
Conquer your fears –
Let there be no regrets, no unshed tears.
Hold your head high, without a sigh,
Stride forward in the coming years.
