Fear is a creature that preys in the dark,
and holds us back and makes us stop,
but within us lies a bright strength,
a strength that can cage the beast.
We fear the unknown and what may come,
but face it we must on this shadowed way,
for within us lies a courage to step out,
and boldly conquer this creature through will.
The first step forward is the hardest they say,
but once we start the next will fall and fall,
for success comes in this authentic act
of pushing forward and not looking back.
