Fear Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Fear



The only ones who seem to be unafraid to face fear,
Are those who are unaware they are suppose to.
And refuse they do to listen to definitions of it,
For reasons others do to find it valued.

'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.'
Franklin D. Roosevelt once stated that.
At his first inaugural address back in 1932.
And today some use fear as their formal address.

Why should anyone want fear to them to be delivered?
Why should anyone want to hear it addressed to express?
And why is it confessed today as an expectation,
But anyone with blemishes and flaws are quickly rejected.
