Often. Too Often.

I’m afraid

too often

too often

I’m afraid

I think too much

about too many things

too many things

that tend to cause

too much of a tendency

to be afraid

to think too much

too often

Too often

fear becomes a living thing

eating me from the inside out

my insides

looking for a way out

and my outside

wanting to hide deep inside

fear

a thief

a bully

a terrorist

a liar

Don’t.

Don’t listen to the fear.

Speak to the peace.

Call it out.

Invite it in.

Make a trade –

lay down the fear,

embrace the peace.
