Fears
Fear is only an emotion. It can be overcome.
Fearlessness is starting something, and understanding it will end.
It is jumping even though you're scared of falling.
It is going higher until you reach the top, having the willpower to go on.
It is crossing the line, because it is the right thing to do.
Dauntlessness is following your heart even though you may lose your mind.
It is loving, knowing that it makes you weak.
It is seeing things without your eyes.
It is pushing through pain and crawling up from the depths of sadness.
Courage is standing in the glorious night, even though you're scared of the dark.
It is living open mindedly, in a world full of closed doors.
It is voicing your opinion, though you may possibly be wrong.
It is eating when you fear your food might eat you.
Bravery is remembering someone who forgot you.
It is realizing you are important, despite what they say.
It is understanding yourself and knowing that that has to be enough.
Because at the end of the day who do you have?
You.
Fears and all.
And you, you are enough.
