Acknowledging fear is true strength
Tending it with love is true courage
Take the action for love
On this healing path you walk
No single tear you shed
Will be in vain
Have the wisdom and inner strength
To reclaim your inner truth
Even in the midst of deep confusion and pain
When louder voices cry you down
Hold fast to it
Bear living proof
Every day a living testament
To the power of love
Moving through you
Challenge the crippling voices of fear
That possess you
Accept when they are helping you
Face the dark
So it no longer holds you locked so tightly
Inside a terrible prison of shame
Understand deeply
Where chains of judgement and resentment
Block the path to becoming
Your own soul’s
Warrior
You do not even need to proclaim this to the world
Just know it
And hold fast to it
Quietly and silently
Deep withing the cavern
Of your heart
When we allow ourselves to feel fear, fundamental fear that is natural to all of us, we no longer have to devise a thousand ways to run from it. We experience a kind of freedom and learn that fear was only a wall to pass through on the way to self.
