Do Not Fear Fear

friends, do not fear fear, find it,
it exists for a purpose, try blinking,
look inside, there is city there
of shadows, of black lines and
blunt curves, and flower of thorns
and there is no free ride there,
the paths are winding, and there
are no directions, no one tells you
where to go, and what to do,
everyone there just keeps on doing
and doing and going, no words,
there is that world of fear, and
in there it is a friendly fear, a
teacher, makes you numb and
strong, and thinking, and when you
reach the heart of that city,
you are no longer a fool,
not a coward anymore, ask me,
i live there,
