Moving Along the Fear

Making my way through the tunnel 

of fleeting flickers of lights, 

seeking for the brightness 

waiting for the energy to be ignited,

I walk with my eyes closed 

and mind open. 

I walk towards that inner light at the far corner. 

It is calling me by names only I’ve named, 

illuminating the dark and ravenous path      I once feared.

I fall, 

the doubt and the fear comes 

down with my guard. 

I realised that fear imitates me, 

it moves the way I move.

I realised it’s a part of me to walk with,

rather than a part of me to walk away from.

The goal is, take a step. 

Imitate action. Imitate fearlessness. 

I realised, that’s all I need. 

Fear will always be there,

you need to be conscious about how you move with it.
