Like a deer caught in the headlights, this life has a way of making us
stop and stare into the bright void of our potential downfall. This life has a
way of forcing us to question how it could come to this, how it could have
gotten this far, and whether we can move even a step further?
Don’t just call me a pessimist.
This is not all about negativity, this is about the good things to.
There is something about being face to face with something beautiful,
something potentially lethal to our current state of mind, something that has
the possibility of making you care, something unknown to discover, something
that can leave us standing paralyzed and scared as well…something that might
make us feel anything at all.
Life is all about fear, and anything worth
anything has a certain amount of fear within it. There is no point in trying to
avoid being afraid, as it is inevitable that even the things that cause us
pleasure can inevitably cause us pain.
Everything has the potential to hold us paralyzed in both reverence and
respect.
Life is about accepting fear.
Standing defiant to the things that would seek to hurt us, while we also
stand accepting and vulnerable to the things that do not, is such a powerful
thing.
Life is knowing that fear exists, and knowing
that it will be walking with us almost every step of the way, and that it only
ever holds temporary power.
Life is about accepting all the shady company
we keep in the hopes that we will overcome the next oppressive moment.
Standing like a deer in headlights, but with
fists and the ability to push back.
Standing paralyzed and fearful that we might
come face to face with something more than what yesterday brought us.
Fear is mine.
Fear is walking with me every step of the way
towards the bright lights ahead.
Fear has as much right to fear me, for I may
learn to accept its existence…and then fear will have to continue to stand paralyzed,
while I walk away.
