Have you faced a fear and known the power of its defeat? Did you find that your new fear is the not fearing it no more? Replaced now by a fear of the known roads that lead you to be that brave again and the knowing that you can? I have drawn back from a world where those roads are where I am compelled by choices not my own. Instead through isolation I choose not to defeat that fear again. Along that road I know the destination that awaits. I fear those roads and those who would lead me there. And as with you and your fears... it is from them that I hide. I know my own bravery and the point at which I break. That road for now best avoided and the one way sign well marked.

Fears Road
Have you faced a fear and known the power of its defeat? Did you find that your new fear is the not fearing it no more? Replaced now by a fear of the known roads that lead you to be that brave again and the knowing that you can? I have drawn back from a world where those roads are where I am compelled by choices not my own. Instead through isolation I choose not to defeat that fear again. Along that road I know the destination that awaits. I fear those roads and those who would lead me there. And as with you and your fears... it is from them that I hide. I know my own bravery and the point at which I break. That road for now best avoided and the one way sign well marked.
Once again words that would be censored are omitted.... I hope your fears leave you room to live. I hope too for those who need it you know there is some understanding out here censors or not.
