I Fear Not...

Fear is influential. It dictates one’s actions and responses. It has many faces. Emotions, people, society, life, every thing imbibes a sense of fright when faced in reality. Yet, it doesn’t necessarily show weakness. In fact, it exhibits the acknowledgment of something and resistance towards surrendering to it.

Millennials these days face pressure from everywhere, friends, family, and work. We are all victims of societal pressure and fear of failure and embarrassment. We have the potential, but lack the right guidance to pursue it.

A sense of loneness resides in us when we start fearing the unfair challenges that life throws at us. We feel like we have no support and tend to lose control over ourselves. We so earnestly wish all the right things for us that we fear the ‘wrong’ that passes our way. What we need to understand is that life is half and half. We need to deal with both sides of the coin and not wave the white flag when it is time to defeat the ‘wrong’.

Having said that, dreamers never stop dreaming and I hope every dreamer out there will fight back all the odds and shine through the rough storm.

I FEAR NOT...

I fear not the change that I must undergo,
I fear the insecurity that I wouldn’t forego.

I fear not the society, for it couldn’t be more helpless,
I fear my own people, who couldn’t care less.

I fear not the stupid, for he doesn’t care,
I fear the wise, who don’t dare.

I fear no judgement, for it is human nature to judge.
I fear the ignorance that prevails after proven otherwise.

I fear no amount of hate, for it’s a nature’s emotion,
I fear the fake love that one pours like ocean.

I fear not the betrayal, for it’s one of the traits.
I fear the urge of vengefulness that it creates.

I fear no sacrifice, for it is the greatest form of love,
I fear the thanklessness that I don’t deserve.

I fear not, to fall a hundred times,
I fear to miss my chance, that one time.

I fear no failure, for how else will I learn,
I fear the blackhole of shame that will oppose me to yearn.

I fear no darkness, for its just absence of light,
I fear its permanence, as it might.

I fear no god, for how to trust the unknown,
I fear the demise of my conscience, for it never left me alone.

Moreover,

I fear not dreaming enough, for that is the fuel of life.
I fear not living enough, for that is the intent of life.
