Dear fear...

Oh dear fear,

I am yet to confront you

about all the negative experiences,

that led to countless setbacks

and continuous merciless attacks.

You are the perfect guise

to all my deep rooted insecurities,

that appear to surface

when I am at my weakest.

Engrained deep down my subconscious

feeding on my vulnerability,

how can I defeat you?

A long-term enemy

that has overstayed,

and for years held me captive

is my kindness too protective?

How do I avoid you

and never have to feel you?

When will you disappear

and never, ever appear?

I await the day I fully conquer you

and the day I finally embrace you,

but is this the ultimate solution

to an ongoing battle?

I desperately plead,

and await the golden day

to celebrate my anticipated freedom,

and reign over fear, in my victorious kingdom.
