I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡
Here’s another light-filled ¤ Gem ¤

Hello Fear.

I know you’re there, you get me with that icy stare.

Though the time be day or night, I cannot run beyond your sight.

You call to me to pause, retreat. You beckon me to choose defeat.

On your advice I wouldn’t try, I make excuses, quit or die.

But now I know the secret fear, I am the one who brought you here.

I nurtured you, while all the time I did not realize

How sublime was my existence, my own being.

You’ve had it Fear, because now I’m feeling.

We might meet again. You might beckon now and then.

But I made you what you are today. I own you, Fear.

Get out of my way.
