There Is Nothing to Fear
by Tony Whitaker
Fear was my teacher as a young lad pondering the path of my soul.
Fear filled and fenced my mind attempting to seize all control.
Fear of women but always wanting and waiting for their attention.
Fear of becoming a man, free from all this apprehension.
Being held in detention.
But as a great man once said, “there is nothing to fear but fear itself”
Therefore, to live it all again, I would put fear on the shelf.
This life is too short to worry about what others think
Reveling in my imperfections bonds the broken link.
