Dear Fear,
There was a time I trusted you.
A time you would never lie,
but something happened,
it changed as time went by.
You protected me from accidents,
and your concern was well founded,
but then you frightened me,
in ways that proved ungrounded.
You fed me with lots of lies,
things that just were not true.
Confused about what was real,
still somehow believing you.
Fear I have learned the hard way,
that though I have to live with you,
I have to be very honest with myself,
before I act on what you say or do.
