Nothing To Fear

We have nothing to fear

and everything to be afraid of 

we can race through the air

our shadows black against the asphalt

But, we may be the darkest here

we now have only ourselves to fear

our light can shine but shadows still surround us

we can race through the dark

drenched in it as we were

we can run through cobwebbed streets and track footprints in the dust

but our true marks remain on the streets themselves

we have, now, nothing to fear

and only ourselves to be afraid of

we have no destination

but the one place we're going to

one common goal;

To be fearless.

Author's Note

A poem I wrote a few days ago, I just got lazy with posting XD I was in the car with my brother the other night, and I looked out the window and saw the way the shadow of the car was distorted as he drove and...well, that's how this came about xD it's why I used the words "race" and "streets" and all those others. Let me know what you thiiiiink~ <3

"We have nothing to fear

But, we may be the darkest here

I really feel a lot of different parts in this piece, so much depth in those words...

To be fearless...all would love to have that outlook on this most fearful world in which we live. As it turns out, though we have ourselves to fear most. We tend to be our own worst enemy. Another Excellent poem, Aveira! Keep up the Outstanding works of art!

Is to be fearless a sufficient goal? only fools are fearless true heroes carry on despite their fear.
Well presented in poetic prose
