F.E.A.R

by Roy Knowles

Fear, False Evidence Appearing Real
My serenity it begins to steal
 
Believe me, I am true it says with conviction
My mind is now filled with so much friction
 
What evidence do you have and why is it true
I begin to take on it’s point of view
 
I should be scared my mind begins to think
From “right size” to “small size” I begin to shrink
 
Into the scared child I am now taken
The healthy adult I have forsaken
 
Do I fight or do I run
I feel I am no longer one
 
The Fear has me caught in its grip
My heart feels attacked and begins to skip
 
Breathing is shallow with no where to hide
Into self doubt I begin to slide
 
Before I know it my adult makes his return
And tells the child, I will handle this concern
 
Is this real or an illusion my adult asks
Please Dear God take off it’s mask
 
And reveal the true nature of its lies
It is deception wearing its reality disguise
 
Feel the Fear and walk through the pain
Peace and Serenity you will soon regain
 
Out of the Fear, it disappears without a trace
Thanks to my Higher Power and His Amazing Grace

Despite abandoning my child for a short while
He says I love you dad with a smile

	Fear or Reality? So many people are stopped dead in their tracks by this little word. How does something that isn't even real hold so much power?     It has taken me years to recognize that FEAR is nothing more than our mind running away with itself. And when I conquer FEAR and walk through it, I am doing that by staying present in the only moment that truly exists...the now.    Roy, your poems always reach me at exactly the moment they mean the most, so Thank You.
