Fear

Definition of fear

"Fear" 
Fear means different things to different people

To me? 

I'd rather not say

Some people fear heights 

Some people fear spiders

Others say they fear nothing at all 

But, logic tells me, we all fear something

When we cross the road

We look

For fear of being struck by a car

When we sharpen objects

We do so carefully

For fear of being injured

Fear is within all of us 

And with good reason

But, fear can be fun

Fear can be exhilarating

When we do reckless things

To fight the fear

To give us the strength

To overcome our fears 

The adrenaline pumping through us

Telling us we're still alive

Fear is a natural reaction 

And we shouldn't hide from it

Or deny it

But, telling people our fears

Is not wise 

Only to those we trust

I?
I fear what i can't see 

I?
I fear people hating me

I?
I fear loosing the ones i keep close

Fear 

To me

Is good

It lets me know 

That i'm still there

My heart is still beating

And my lungs are still breathing

Feeling fear shows me 

What i am

Who i am

Fear

Is what makes me 

Me
