On the other side of fear

NaBloPoMo 2021 Do Good, Kid!

Sooner or later you’ll have to face

What you fear the most, your comfortable place

You will be forced to leave and take a leap

Into the scary unknown that steals your sleep

If you think you can live life in your comfort zone throughout

You are wrong, circumstances will force you out

It will happen when you least expect, let me tell you

You will have no choice at that moment except to

Face the situation that was your worst nightmare

And face you will, if about your life you care…

**

You will come out on the other side

Stronger, with more confidence inside

Each time you conquer a primeval fear

You see a growth spurt as a person, my dear

If you live in fear, you are not fully living

What you can offer to the world, you’re not giving

**

Let me then gently suggest to you

Each day, you should try to do

One thing that scares you, a small step is enough

So that facing your fear in a situation tough

Is not a concept completely alien to your mind

This way a path towards progress you shall find

What limits us most from moving forward, I think

Is fear, that brings us to the brink

Of the next step in success and leaves us there

To face our demons, and then prepare

For fight or flight, the former is what you should do

Where life awaits at the end of the comfort zone for you..
