Fear


Like i said
Cough it out
Sneeze that bit
Pain
Stuck in that
Lump down your
Throat

Shake it off
Blow it out
Don't Care
Its you
Who it matters
The most

Fear of uncanny things
Things royal and mundane
Fear of being afraid
Of losing the face

Of biting a small piece
Fearing you might gulp down the whole
Of touch slightly
Fearing you might not let go of the hold

Fear
Brush it off
No
Not brave
Fools act that way
Just act normally
Normally the way
You would

Don't you let that fear
Get in your way
Its a cunning four legged
Always lurking behind surprises
Good news
Fear might overshadow
Crouch you down the sun

Stand up
Fight back
Don't Fear

- Saswati Barat
