Fear

Fear holds us back from taking a risk, making a move, forming an apology.
We let fear hinder us from growing, from changing, from being free.
It often takes hold slowly, methodically.
It creeps in. And then it just sits there, allowing you to believe that functioning with it is your only choice.

Fear.

It doesn't let you function at your full capacity.
We learn to accept it as normal.
Feed it.
Engage it.
Let it manipulate us.

Because facing it is far too hard. Somehow facing it requires admitting failure.

Although, when released - as painful as that immediately may be - the freedom creates a happiness and a peace that the soul only feels when it has come home.
