Fear!!
Fear!!


A sudden gripping feeling,
I can hear my stomach churning,
Like a gust of wind it is approaching,
Its presence is quite unnerving.
Looking to the left and to the right,
I seek... .to find some respite,
It continues to remain, it persists,
Unable to overcome it, although I resist.
A moment later it becomes crystal clear,
Inside my heart it has always been there,
It is an experience all have in life,
Letting it take over, is very unwise.
I try my best to stay cool, unfazed,
To let it receed without leaving a trace,
Looking for ways to keep it under wrap
s,
By reasoning and prayers, I hope it will pass,
I decide to stay still and calm,
Thus stop the sweat from wetting my palm,
Then I realise it only requires a little preparing,
So I start slow and steady, deep breathing.
With continuous practice it starts receding,
As it departs I find myself relaxing,
Now much calmer, my heart beat is stabilizing,
Lasting effect on me? Positive thinking.
It is not so difficult, having experienced, I realize,
Remaining strong willed is the only choice,
I rejoice with triumph and cheer,
As I conquer an emotion called fear!!
