Freedom from Fear

A journey inward...

Stepping up to take my place
I powerfully stare fear in the face

He is gaunt and withering
As he glares at me while shivering

“Take your leave of me                                    
For I am destined to be free ”

“But I am needed to keep you sane.”
He said, with efforts of courage beginning to wane

“Leave me be you are a waist of time,
To hold onto you is a crime ”

“Foul creature of my soul,
Unto death you must roll ”

“Try to make me leave,
Will it work, do you believe?”

“Forever in your mind I will lurk.
Taking over whenever with danger you must flirt ”

“Silence nasty beast of my imagination 
For in life, as always, there will be such a flirtation ” 

“Nervous confusion,
your protection is a delusion ”

“For how could your presence keep me witty?
 By evoking pitty? ”

“An edge I will bring,
If you keep me under your wing ”

“Senses all awakened,
Your safety, it will never be taken ”

“Stupid sprite of my brain 
You must truly be insane ”

“Teetering on the edge,
While my safety you pledge ”

“Alert and sharp I will be,
Once I set myself free ”

“No longer bound by your shackles,
Brimming with energy my soul crackles ”

“Ever free, Ever free
When I lift myself from you this is how I shall forever be  ”
