Fear

Published February 17, 2011 | By Debra

Oh fear,

When will you loosen your grip on me?

When will ideas and dreams become reality

because action and confidence win over you?

Oh unwanted companion,

lifelong presence

in the fog

and in the light.

You are there when I am not even thinking about you-

do you ever just take a break?

Perhaps you’ll shrink when you

realize

that I mean business: the business of

claiming my life

on terms that suit me

and not others out of misguided duty

to you.
