Fear Not

If we spend our lives in fear, what have we gained but fear of fear?

I look upon the world and flinch

Fetal in the corners of despair 

A world it is! Of unknowns and what-ifs

With so little uncertainties 

Filled with monsters and horrors, all too common

But did Atlas shirk his duty? To let the wall fall from his arms?

I gather up the elusive snake -

Courage! 

And I greet the new day
