Fear
Of the unknownThe untrodden path
The unscaled heightsThe unexplored depths.
...Fear
Of failureShame
DepravityDiscomfort.

Fear
Of peopleNatural calamities

...Fear
Of being let downForgotten
ShortchangedTaken for granted.
...Fear
Of the knownThe challenges
The obstaclesThe constraints.
...Fear
Of so many thingsIn life
That dictatesThe paths we choose.
...What if there was
No fear?...
What wouldYou do?
Where wouldYou go?

I do live by fear sometimes, and when it gets too much for me, I meditate and go within myself to say- everything isn't really real. Play the game. After that, it becomes easier to move.
I think fear keeps me stuck. It's hard to imagine life differently. It can be a motivator, too though. Maybe if I imagine life without fear, I'll be closer to living it that way!
Just as awitchtrying said, fear keeps me stuck too. It masks itself in procrastination and so many other feelings. If I had no fear, while keeping wisdom, I think that joy would propel me into action and I could leave the motivating crutch of fear behind. Now that's the way to live. Thanks for the words packed together in your powerful poem.
This is AWESOME!!!! Thank you for writing it. Really made me think in a positive direction.
