Hello, Fear
We’ve been well acquainted
throughout the years,
but I’ve never considered you a friend.
What have you been trying to teach me?
To take calculated risks,
to protect myself,
to not go too far,
feel too much,
or jump without a parachute?
I have listened,
but sometimes not.
Sometimes I haven’t jumped at all.
Other times I left my parachute behind
thinking I didn’t need it anymore,
but then saw the error of my ways.
But now I shake your hand,
and introduce myself.
I’m ready.
