Don't Let Fear Be Your Puppeteer
A Written Word Using the Personification of Fear as a Puppeteer
Don't let fear be your puppeteer
Cut the strings that control you-
The ones that make you dance
These ropes have restricted you for too long-
Holding you back from living
They have chafed your hands and feet-
Leaving scars that have cut deeper than the surface of your flesh
Fear has controlled your every move
He sits high above the stage,
Handling the crossbar with great ease-
Showing the audience he's been maneuvering it for some time
But even when the curtains close,
The show is not over;
He still remains in control
It is time to cut the strings-
Time to break free from your bondage
You will never go beyond the curtains if you remain a puppet
There is no need for a puppeteer-
If there is no puppet
Make your choice
Don't let fear be your puppeteer

Remembering the rink
If you were there, you’ll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the city’s social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.
