You are not afraid of the darkness But what hides within. You are not afraid to move on But to accept the reality of loss. You are not afraid of heights But falling from them. You are not afraid to talk to her But of her believing you are a fool. You are not afraid to love But to not be loved in return. You are not afraid to speak But mockery of what might be spoken. You are not afraid to die But of ignorance of where the journey ends. Fear devours rational minds. Preying on the unknown Making our imaginations run rampant. Take heart. Courage dwells within you. For it takes but thirty seconds to open wide the door to a life of bliss.

Fear: The Illusion
You are not afraid of the darkness But what hides within. You are not afraid to move on But to accept the reality of loss. You are not afraid of heights But falling from them. You are not afraid to talk to her But of her believing you are a fool. You are not afraid to love But to not be loved in return. You are not afraid to speak But mockery of what might be spoken. You are not afraid to die But of ignorance of where the journey ends. Fear devours rational minds. Preying on the unknown Making our imaginations run rampant. Take heart. Courage dwells within you. For it takes but thirty seconds to open wide the door to a life of bliss.
