Fear

What is fear?

It is an emotion, 

Duh!

But why?

It doesn't do anything,

Except make us scared and,

We avoid.

Things,

Animals, 

Foods,

And even People!

Why people?

Maybe because,

We believe they,

The people whom we should be trusting,

With our lives.

But,

Instead,

We fear them. 

This is one reason,

We cannot trust each other,

With anything. 

We all would be happier,

If we trusted each other. 

Maybe there are other reasons we fear people. 

I, for one, fear,

The the people,

I care about most.

The people I like,

I fear that they will find out.

Of course,

I relate all of my poems to lovem 

Usually.

But,

The people I ¨Like¨

I don want the,

To know,

Because I know what they,

Will say.

They will say,

Sorry, but  don't like you.

That scares me.  

So fear controls,

All

Of

 Us. 

So don let it. 

Take control of your fear,

Within reason. 

Fear what should be feared. 

Don't fear people.

Fear their motives. 

Do not fear their opinions.

Or your own. 

Thank You!
