If fear...

By FearlessDragon

If fear...

Were a tree,

I would be the breeze
Shaking its leaves

If fear...

Were an ocean,

I would be a monster of the deep

If fear...

Were a woman,

She would be my lover

If fear...

Were a butterfly,

I would be a caterpillar

If fear...

Were a knife,

I would be made of stone

If fear...

Were a mountain,

I would be the snow
Dusting its highest peak

If fear...

Were the moon,

The darkside would be me

If fear...

Were the stars,

They would illuminate my galaxy

Likewise...

If fear..

Plants inside my mind,

The tiniest of seeds,

I crumble beyond belief

THAT IS WHY I WEED MY MIND DAILY. Fear will over run the garden of my mind and I must be vigilant. Very much enjoyed this and gets a four out of four heartbeats faster award.
