10-91

every man
is a prisoner--
of his own fear.
he who does not fear
has found his freedom--
yet, does not breathe.
he who believes
he has no fear
has not yet
confronted his cell walls.
he who fears
is human.

So if I have fear I am human,
If I expose this fear it will show I am afraid.... will you then hold me.

True we all have our fears

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.

Dg,
  Having no fear would make life boring, having too much fear would make life unbearable. I'm content to be found somewhere in the middle. Thoughtful work here.

I'm glad this has been coming up to the surface for a couple of days.  It gave me a chance to think about how fear has imprisoned me.  This is nicely written and insightful.  And I do guess I'd rather have fear than not be breathing.     Hugs.

Part of being human is to feel real feelings...One of which is fear.   I love the way this was done.

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.
