Fear comes from a shadow in the dark
A stranger who approaches us from around the corner,
Lightening, thunder and hail that sends a child under the bed
The fear of drowning
The fear of age
The fear of debt
The fear of not having enough
The fear of germs
The fear of terrorism
The fear of cultures who we don’t understand
Fear comes from insecurity
Fear of speaking our minds when we know we should
Fear of not standing up to those who would keep us down
The fear of being alone
The fear of being too happy
The fear of being too confident
The fear of feeling too small
The fear of feeling ugly
The fear of eye contact in the age of instant messaging
Fear is what we believe it to be
The blanket that keeps humanity shivering.
