Fears Extinguished

We all fear something-

Be it snakes or scorpions

We all fear something-

Be it loneliness or crowds

We all fear something-

Be it dishonour or disgrace

We all fear something-

But what is its root cause?

We fear death,

Which we see in many forms,

We fear death,

Which manifests itself differently each time,

We fear death,

Which none of us can bear,

Until we stop fearing it,

Fears can't be extinguished.
