Your fears

Fears, fears, you lurk around every corner

A shadowy presence I couldn't ignore

You creep into my mind

A constant companion, always on my shore

Your whispers echo in my mind and heart

An endless refrain that divides me

You mock me with your doubt and uncertainty

A terrifying force that numbs my spirit

You lurk in every dark and hidden place

A monster I cannot face

You hide behind every open door

A horror I could not ignore

But I see you every day

I stand tall and face your wrath

Because you can be strong and fierce

I know I am braver than my fears

So I take a deep breath and hold my ground

You may be shaking even if you are shaking all around

I will stand firm and never back down

Because I know I am more than my fear
