The War

The War.....

She gripped her tired face & whispered "tell me! Tell me." Fear could not look her in the eye nor expose the ugly truth it hid so well. Faith grabbed her face tight and drew in closer to her body & repeated herself at a louder tone. Fear still resisted the beast that was fighting to escape the cage. Fear began to weep. "I. Can't.." She cried in whispers. Fear began to rock in agony. Faith kept the pace. Back and forth as ones heart began to pound. Continuing, Faith kept up the pace. Fear began to cry. Heavily lost in her emotions, she clinched her teeth. She became even shorter of breath. Faith picked up their rocking pace and closed her eyes. Tears fell like a rushing river down her ice cold cheeks. Faith gripped fears face the tightest that she could, rocking right to left and left to right. Suddenly, faith took the deepest breath her lungs could hold and screamed "Tell me what I do for you! Tell me." Fears cry bursts into a loud, broken record. Her chest began to rise at a speed to what seemed like a racing car that just pulled the nitro. They both breathlessly cried aloud and then faith became quiet because she felt a storm brewing from the depth of fears soul.

Fear opened her eyes and screamed "Scare Me!"

They need each other. -Fear & Faith. Too much fear is freed by faith, & too much faith is tempered by fear. How to balance them is the eternal question.........
