Fear

I have always dreaded your company; but you are here, I never requested for your amity; but you are so near, I have never needed your opinion; but I do things your way, You were my companion; but I’m pleased to say that you are not. I wanted you to leave but you stayed; it’s that your grip, You are even closer than I thought; we are joined at the hip, I never do anything special; cos you make me feel like a mediocre, You make me do things of no value; things that are meager. When you are around; my heart nearly escapes my chest, You make my face turn red and my limbs become numb, You make the knot in my stomach tighter; real unrest, You send a chill down my spine; like an overwhelming bomb. So I say farewell fear; because courage is at my doorway, I’ve waited for far too long; to be set free from your obsession, I say goodbye fear; because strength is at arm’s length away, Thanks to Jesus; finally I’m no longer your possession.
