The Woman Who Mastered Fear

Mastery is magic through faith...

Mastery is magic through faith

it’s courage

it’s overcoming adversity of the overthinking mind

it’s finally working up the bravery to pour out such a distasteful companion of ruin

it’s meticulously pinpointing causes and triggers

it’s mind over heart, allowing conscious thought to outweigh emotion

it’s allowing worry to wonder off, as the message of fear is carried to an empty lot, left there to be disintegrated and never to return

it’s taking every step with precision, to fearlessly understand the undertaking

the undercurrent of my addiction

how to define, or decide how fear serves no good

it’s a chastity belt, a blank canvas, dry paint brushes, an unstrung guitar

until freedom reign free free

and restores tenaciousness

eliminating fears

abnormalities

is a mastery

a woman's feat
