The Paralysis of Fear

Embracing the Journey of Self-Discovery

By new kingPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Fear grips my heart, it clutches my soul,

A weight that I cannot shake, that takes its toll.

It paralyzes me, in a state of inaction,

A victim to its power, with no sense of direction.

My mind races, with thoughts of the worst,

And I can't escape this feeling, that I'm cursed.

It's like a nightmare that never ends,

And I'm lost in this maze, with no means to make amends.

But then I remember, the power that's within,

A source of strength that can help me begin.

It's my faith that can lift me, out of this despair,

And show me that there's hope, for those who truly dare.

With each breath I take, I feel my strength renew,

And I'm filled with a sense of purpose, that I never knew.

For fear is just an obstacle, that I can overcome,

With a heart full of faith, and the courage to be done.

So I take a step forward, into the unknown,

A world full of possibilities, that I can truly own.

For the power to overcome fear, is already within me,

And with each step I take, I'm closer to being free.

Embrace your fear, and let it guide you on your way,

For when you conquer it, you'll find a brighter day.

The paralysis of fear, is just a temporary state,

And with faith as your guide, you'll find your true fate.
