The 'inappropriateness of fear'

Fear is one of the things in life that we have to come to terms with. When fear knocks on the door of your mind, behold your vision, your goal.
Think of the infinite power within your subconscious mind that can generate your thinking and imagining. This will give you confidence, power and courage. Keep on, persevere, until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.

I wrote the poem below some time ago when I was faced with a certain fear...

When fear sets in

Confusion: a tremor,
Cascades down the femur,
Paroxysms of terror,
Rack the anterior posterior.

Uncertainty: mother of doubt,
Leaves many a limb in want,
As the monster surges oft,
Into and out of many a pint.

Collywobbles: butterflies wreak havoc,
Skipping, jumping in the colossal sac,
And the thought 'If I sink',
Draws out life with one suck.

Nerves: on edge and wild,
The scream goes with the wind,
A cloud of jagged nerves left behind,
More serene tranquility? I dare find.
