fear keeps us silent mostly
the expression of needs rare
we remain stoic above all else
fear keeps us panicked always
internally we are a mess
externally no one would know it
fear keeps us shackled mostly
wounds so easily reopened
when secrets are shared
fear keeps us lonely always
in the interior of our souls
giving a small bit but revealing nothing
fear keeps us all to itself
Great writing 😀

Yes, absolutely!! Having to deal with anxiety, I know it too well. Thankfully, it’s been under control for a while now. I’m very grateful for that.

Fear can control our lives if we allow it. Fear is the evil that holds us back from doing things that make life worth living.
