I Tame My Fears Poem by Julia Klimenova

I Tame My Fears

Rating: 5.0


I tame my fears
Accepting them
I get to know them
By degrees.
I walk them and observe
Without unleashing,
Keep at bay,
And learn to see
The lap-dog
In the fire-breathing beast.
They sense that
I won't run away
Unable to control myself,
So they submit
And wag their tails,
Though sometimes bark -
A show of strength -
To mask defeat.

It is truly a wonderful - that of getting to know our fears, for when we do, they are no longer fears. Excellent work!

Oh my God....this is beautiful.... When you watch your fear, observe it as an outsider....It becomes your companion and you deant fear it.
