Our fears restrain each of us,
all the while, being driven by them.
We desperately strive to overcome,
this worlds capacity for mayhem.

Without the hold of fear,
our possibilities are endless.
If we broke free of our chains,
power is what we would possess.

A power full of dangers,
with no fear of a consequence.
Filling this plagued earth,
with so little consonance.

If my fear should dissipate,
the evil inside will break free.
Destroying all that's in my life,
including the person I call me.

This pain that has been written,
in so many colours of ink.
Would be unleashed to reign,
severing my humanity, my link.

Without the fear of pain,
I could become a monster.
I could indulge in the suffering,
I could become a conqueror.


If the fear should dissipate,
the love hidden would shine.
Bringing out the happiness,
that is buried deep inside.

On the surface I pretend, I try,
to feel that innocence again.
Where everything is a wonder,
and everyone is your friend.

Without the fear of pain,
I would give my love to all.
I would make everyone happy,
I would stand up tall.


What would you do if you weren't afraid, you ask?**

I would love myself and this world. I would make this world a place that everyone wanted to be in. I would be the strength that so many lack, and the voice that has been taken from so many.
My intentions were to write a happier poem about overcoming what we are afraid of, and well, it seems that I am feeling dark today, sorry.
