Fear

Fear
Does it rule me?
Am I it's master?
Fear
Of the unknown?
Of rejection?
Of death?
What is this thing that reaches in and holds my soul hostage?
Fear
The predator or the prey?
The prisoner or the gatekeeper?
Does it serve me well for my purpose?
Fear
Of Love?
My best friend and worst enemy?
Must I let this binding emotion penetrate my true feelings
like a staff in the moist ground
Ripping through the topsoil down to the moist, warm interior
Fear
Of what might be?
Of what I know might not be?
It lies within, but could I live without it?
I have lived with it only to realize confusion
The question
Should I allow it to stop me?
