'Blindfolded Fear' Poem by Linda Winchell

Why walk in fear if blindfolded?
What is darkness to fear, if you can not see?
give me an answer, to these questions asked?
Will you do that for me, Please?

Why be afraid of what can not be seen?
Is not your blindfolds darkness, not blackened enough?
with your shut eyes, that can now not see
Is life really, that stinken tough?

Fear, is really only in your mind
driving an imaginative, imagination!
Creating those monsters in your mind
causing your life's feared, blindfolded frustrations!

'The only thing to fear is fear itself'
if nothing isn't there seen to fear.
So what is it that you're fearing, tell me?
If there isn't anything to fear, you're near?

Take the blindfolded from your eyes!
now see the darkness, for what it is!
For light will shine and all fear subside
and your sighted life, will become fear cleared!
