Your fear whispered things to you
That are not true
And I know my love
How scared you are
Having ransomed your life to a profession
In which you have to be brave
And now fearing all the phantoms that rise up
Keeping you trapped in a cage
From which you begged me for freedom
But now if you want to limit my life
Due to your fear
How will I live?
Because within these constraints
I cannot breathe
And truly our spirits were made
To be free
Am I being uncaring
In refusing to hold your hand
In asking you to brave enough
For once
To look into your shadow?
I was scared too
But I had to open to the fear
I could not shut the door
And ask it just to disappear
For until I knew the reason that it came
How could I ever hope to live
With the hidden truth
Buried in fear?
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Fear is a terrifying emotion,
That clings to every pore
Restricting today’s good notions

Too many are dominated by fear. But from personal experience it’s so difficult to conquer
