I’m tired of wearing you around my finger You’re nothing but a clinger You’re the fly I flick across the room You’re the dust beneath my broom I swept you off your feet And now my life’s complete You are fear And now I wear you like a gown Meant to hit the ground I will not be afraid It’s a decision I have made I will not be one that’s scared For now my heart is bared |

It’s a decision I have made You have stood up to that nasty four letter word. Now you are the master of your life. |

I will not be afraid It’s a decision I have made I will not be one that’s scared For now my heart is bared I love this, Walt... sometimes fear is the biggest curse of all, even if it never gets asterisked out. *G* Keep on kickin' its booty... It strangles us so often and deserves the abuse. *G* This is great! |

It was once said, that courage is not the lack of fear, but instead it is the act of being afraid but doing a thing anyway. So, my friend, you have written your heart amongst our pages and now you still have fear, but you also have courage! Very nicely done.

Hey Walt you're right...no filter ....great write........the only real fear is that you might stop writing someday...that'd be wrong!....good show!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

it seems, my friendly, that you've made a giant decision to overcome. bold, where nobody's been B4 (hahahaheheh). I like the clever use of "swept you off your feet." i guess this fear has been clinging around for awhile? i c u put your foot down again. Short and solid poetry. stick a fork in this one...it's well done! |

"You’re the fly I flick across the room You’re the dust beneath my broom" Some great lines here Walty enjoyed the whole poem, short and straight to the point Walty, so much can be said in so few words. Glad you conquered that 4 letter word  Maree |
