Fear

entry picture

There’s nothing wrong with being afraid,
When I had nothing to lose, I had nothing to fear,
But I also had nothing.
No purpose,
No meaning,
No direction.
So embrace your fear,
Welcome it as you would a friend at the fireside,
It’s just a reminder that you have something to live for.

Thanks Jennifer, I haven't written anything in ages, (can't seem to gather my thoughts ?). Glad you liked it.
