Fear: A Mirror Reflection Of What I Am! Poem by Vinita Nahata

Fear: a mirror reflection of what I am;

The more I look at; the more I'm scared, ,

This nagging sensation, I cannot define;

They say mind over matter; but I say matter over mind,

Fear of love; fear of hate,

Fear of losing my own faith,

Fear of the future and what it holds,

Fear of aging and growing so old,

Fearof letting myself go,

Fear of letting the world know,

Fear of what fear does to me,

Engrossingme and making me weak.

Fear, my old friend for all these years,

I fear to suffer; I suffer from fear,

The fire of this fear is burning within;

Sparks of which no one can see,

It's a web that's formedbelow my feet;

To sweep me away through a plan of deceit,

I run in fear; I walk in fear,

I hide in fear; I show in fear,

Is that what I fear? The person I'm supposed to be?

I think, the thing I fear the most is myself, that is me!

O lord; Almighty, let me stay in your grace,

Everyday through the fear I face,

May I notfear the fear;

Rather I show the fear its fear.
