Fear It Is Poem by Mark Anthony Mendoza

Everyone of us is searching for love to hold
Some has gone far and other have been hurt
But then when love is right next to them
Why do they question if it's real or not?

Funny it is that when love came
Suddenly we try to ignore and be scared
Afraid of hurt? Afraid to fail?
But isn't what we are looking for

I was once like that before, but have learned
To face hurt and accept failure
For love never hurt and never fail
If only we accept it with all our heart

You know it's us who fail not LOVE
It's us who create hurt not LOVE
So if we believe in love without a doubt...
Love will embrace us

It's accepting the past my sweet
and being strong for whatever the future will bring
Thinking of what is now...
and maybe then forever will exist

It's not the reason of 'you are not sure'
Never doubt love and question love
All what is bothering us is fear
So hold my hand and be strong
Believe in God and Love
you'll see yourself again to love
