The Web Poetry Corner - Katherine Tildes - Don't Fear
Don't Fear
by
Katherine Tildes
To fear is
to give the thing, person, idea
some equivalence to power
Instead of ignoring it
or demanding it change its’ ways,
we back away
stand aside
try to run way from it
This act of invasion
only fuels the creatures’ passion
It only wants you more
Every time you invade
you give it strength,
reason to try harder,
succeed
This time
instead of hiding
step out into the lights
take your fear in your hands
and throw it far away
conquer it
destroy it
diminish it as it would
surely do to you
Caution:
Do not become it
take control
carefully stoke your fire
and make the creature,
object, person
fear you instead.
