Fear Poem by Eva Clara Harahap

Perhaps fear is an ocean doubt…
When we want so much from life….
Perhaps fear is a storm….
When we want to sail our own ship….

It consists of four letters only…..
But it controls our life….
It defines our life…..
Could life be embraced?
By the measure of fear, we can control? ....

What is fear? Tell me….
Is it a feeling of being inadequate?
Or the feeling of we are powerful beyond measure? ....
Is it a proof of, we are not who we think we are? ....
Is it a final frontier of being a truthful human being? ....

What is fear for you?
Is it the absence or courage? ...
Then, what is courage for you?
Is it the absence of fear? ....
Define me the difference….
Or shall I disparage you with your indifference?

Have you notice? ….
The other side of fear is freedom? ...
Or shall I invited fear to your life? ...
So you know how to use your courage? ...
So you can feel your own freedom? ....

Never define a future…..
By the measure of fear you had….
Don’t be afraid of the future…
As you have seen yesterday….
And you live today…..

Confront fear not only with courage….
But also with a constant faith….
That you are the child of the universe…
You have the same right as the star and the moon….
If the star can light the darkness ….
You can also change your universe……

Fear not to the unseen….
Fear not to the unspoken….
Fear not to the unnoticed….
Fear not to the unpredictable….

As life could only be measured….
By the courage heart...
To embrace the fear…..
And to own your freedom....
