Fear
Mind killing and paralyzing
Fear sneaks in without notice
Stealth tendrils as fine as spiders silk
Whisper soft with feline grace
Wraps you in an untrue lovers embrace
Numbing the brain and crippling the soul
Reach out for what? The cure?
Yes, but the disease is insidious, sly and cunning
Offering up faithless hope while all the while
The spiders web grows creeps forward growing larger
And as the mind is captured
The body reacts with pain
Pain to offset the turbulent whirlpool
That the web has spun into being
And words echo unbidden through the halls of reason
Failure, Unfit, Defeated, Ruined come the whispers
And the numb and atrophying sense of self-worth
Cannot find an argument befitting to unmask the lie
And so the web grows until it becomes a net
And the net grows until it becomes a fence
The spiral snakes in upon itself and spreads
Ever feeding growing stronger
At the expense of the reality it obscures
Blindly the ego wages battle against the specter foe
Sometimes a battle is won and the taste of victory
Lies sweetly on the tongue and elevates the victor
Sometimes a battle is lost and all longing dies unrecognized
And still the war rages on, marching ever towards the final battle
Will the cavalier come and victory be, at long last assured?
How I wish I knew.
Me too. (NSI/ladyinwaitingfor)

Ouch! Remember FWolf, you are a strong woman! The pain that holds you today will free you tomorrow. All this change and learning is a tough bridge to cross, crossing is the challenge. Meet it with abandon!

SW, your talent for putting feeling into words just awes me and your ability to pull those feelings from my heart does too. We all really aren’t that different from one another, are we? Helps to know that, I think…

Sending you the Fear Litany by Frank Herbert. It helped me in so very many ways. You will win.
Warning Comment
You certainly do know how to put your feelings into words. Awsome!

It is possible to deny fear power over you; to acknowledge that it is there -perhaps give it a polite nod- and go on despite it. ‘Tis not an easy thing, but it can be done. I know. With a warm smile…

Fear can be a good thing, makes you treat it with respect, generates the right responses from the body. We know you can make the right response, hun! Hugz
