To sit in fear of the world,
Is to sit idly by,
Offering nothing to the day,
Though taking nothing all the same.

To sit in ignorance of your fear,
Is to pass blindly by who you are,
Offering nothing to yourself,
And taking nothing all the same.

To act in knowledge of your fear,
That is to be enlightened,
To take what you need from life,
And from yourself all the same.
