We are born into the world empty And in those first few years They teach us fear Don’t touch that it’s hot It’s dangerous Don’t talk to people Don’t live fast
And then it happens A frightening change And we are complete Entering adulthood Spilling over with fear Terrified
Fear is bad they say We need to move away from it To a place without fear Anything that is not fear Is good
Another drink To quench your thirst Or your fear Another pill
I have a clearer idea of what this means now Always moving away from fear Moving in that direction Confusing
Because there are no real choices Other than NOT And yet For some time now I have been living towards A number of things I see as possible And holding these goals in mind A new direction Towards
What happened to fear you ask? I am not sure It is a constant companion Right here and now
Thinking of a fuel gauge Fear might be full And empty might be the goal To empty the tank To die
As I move towards death There is less fear Having passed the half way point It seems easier to move towards Than away
