Unless you choose to let me go.
I am all around you. I am inside you too. I’m in your heart. I’m in your head. I’m under your skin. I seize you and consume you. I immobilize you. I drive you crazy. I rob you of your reason. I confuse you. I make you weary and bring you down. I make the world seem uncertain and threatening. I fill you with darkness and suspicion and cause you to hate. I haunt you in your dreams. You try to hide from me, but I am with you always, like a shadow.
Unless you choose to let me go.

AWESOME! Fear is not creative. It's destructive. Yet it is everywhere as you say, Don. Is there a vaccine for it? Yes! Love.

Brilliant portrayal of all sorts of dark emotions then, a silver shaft of light reminds us we have hope - and control over it!

Face your fear and it will fly in the face of your courage.

So true. Sometimes you need help letting go of fear. All you have to do is ask for help.
