Fear is the most powerful emotion

Fear sucks out joy
It takes away peace
It paralyses your whole body
And there is no release

All the what ifs
They drive you mad
Before there were happy days
But now always sad

Always on edge
A sense to forebode
Watch all your confidence
Quickly erode

The knots in your stomach
A kind of grief
The sense of panic
That lies underneath

Fear is corrosive
It’s all consuming
It traps you in a prison
Of your own delusion

But when all your fears
One day turn true
Gone is the hold
They had over you

Exposed and naked
Nowhere to hide
But now you’re back in control
Your fate, you decide

You thought you were weak
That you couldn’t survive
But not only are you strong
You’ve just learnt to thrive
