"I woke up I saw dark, I slept I felt dark it was nothing but my fear from water, fire, and height which led to a day full of dark." How poetic Joseph thought while sitting in one corner of his school classroom and the bell rang, he went to the ground and searched for his bicycle and saw people playing with it and he felt feared to talk with them but, at last, when they went to their respective houses he found his cycle in a wrong broken way but he feared this to inform his parents and take their say. 


Joseph while going to his house found out a man drowning in the river and his fear of water made him stand rather than helping that young gentleman but he called the water rescue guys and because of god's help and those guys work and his prayers he was able to come out of that river. He was happy but he knew he must be brave enough like every other teenager. 


At night he was alone at his house, as his parents went for dinner and after waving them a bye, he went to sleep and he woke up at midnight due to some sound and went to his balcony to see what was that, there he saw a thief trying to enter his friend's house and without a second thought he tried to stop that guy from entering his friend's house but the light turned off and he started screaming, people came to save him and admitted him in a hospital. 


When he woke up the next day, he found out his parents and some other people from his community were near him to help him go through this difficult phase of life. A new psychiatrist, Mr. Patrick was assigned to work with him by the government and improve his condition and if possible help him fight against his fears.


In the first session between Mr. Patrick and Joseph, Jos was a bit shy and Patrick asked Jos to introduce himself. He said," Sir I love nature but at the same time I fear from it, I love writing but at the same time hate to share it, I love to read but at the same time I hate to complete it, I love to live but at the same time hate to cry, I love to eat but at the same time hate to be fat." 

 Mr. Patrick laughed for some time and went to silent mode for the next 10 minutes waiting for Joseph to speak something and he asked finally," Sir, why are you silent?" 

Patrick wrote in one paper and said to write a small poem in that tiny paper, First of all, Joseph felt sad but later when he saw Mr. Patrick not even nodding his head, he took the paper and thought for a minute and wrote a beautiful poem about himself and gave it to Mr. Patrick and he threw it away inside a dark room with water because it was a bit long and asked him to bring it from water and if he would bring that from there he will read that.

First of all, he was very angry with him and went inside that room and he knew some swimming and swam to find out where is it and at last, found it in one corner of the room but in a wet condition and brought that out. 

He went to his room and started crying. Patrick entered the room and said," Joseph, How you went inside was because of your passion, and how you came out of it was because you respected it too, how you wrote this was because of your love. never leave this, and you would have no fear in your whole life, and you will see success everywhere." Joseph also realized Patrick's help and was thankful to him rest of his life and became a writer in the future. He also wrote a novel about Mr. Patrick, and till his last day were friends.

When a friend of his with the assistant opened the poem, they were also shocked by reading it.

The poem was, 

"I am a guy of dreams,

Here to win, 

But I don't get any chance because I am a foolish guy,

Who is here to win but still is shy. 


People say me many things,

Some to cure some to heal, 

But best advice was never given to me, 

And it was for how to live?.


I will fight till my death, 

Because I am here to win and compete, 

and I will do this, 

till my last breath." 

This also changed many others life after it was published as a part of his novel, "Fear: The new age"
