Fear and I,
we are
well-acquainted.
My
beleaguering
foe.
And sometimes, in this familiar battle
we just need to be reminded of repulsive nature of fear.
So, I am making my list of what I've seen fear do,
for the sole purpose
of keeping a fully repugnant taste in my mouth
for all things fear-filled.
Fear...
isolates
alienates
oppresses
bullies
demands
coerces
diminishes
decreases
subtracts
takes away
saps energy
steals joy
erases peace
distorts

erases peace
distorts
disturbs
warps
creates self-doubt
misrepresents
misrepresents
ill-advises
perverts
squelches
disfigures
breeds mistrust
antagonizes
traumatizes
paralyzes
cripples
disables
weakens
demoralizes
shifts our focus
dizzies
confuses
silences
relinquishes
camouflages truth
in other words...
fear lies.
And me?
I'm pursuing truth.
I'm interested in love.
Nothing less.
Nothing else.

There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear...
