Fear (original poem)
The Day You Lose Your Fear
The day you lose your fear
of sleeplessness, you will sleep
and the day you lose your fear
of wakefulness, you will awake
Only then will you realize, my dear
‘bribed defender of your fears’
that you do not need them so much
as they desperately need you
For you are far, far more than the sum
of these devious ciphers you suffer
the treasured lot clotting your chest
blocking an ever-rising sun from view
In light of their absence, you will clearly see
an essential self, free of borrowed shadow
you would hardly recognize that you now
unflanked by those old fears… believe me.

Lovely explanation . Fear indeed clouds our strength , when we are afraid , we end up not putting efforts in what we have in mind and as such we fail in it.
Thank you, for engaging, Joseph.
I will take this even one step further and liken all of life to a kind of spiritual warfare—in which case, fear is the dark side’s way of deceiving us into believing that we are less strong than we really are…
