Fear

Fear is the enemy.

The enemy off all things good

Fear holds hostage ambitious minds

Do not befriend fear,

Take no notice of its advances

Like a stray dog

Do not run from fear,

For it is a game for fear

to chase

Nay stand your ground and beat your chest,

Stomp your feet, and if you must,

Scream your head off.

Be ready to fight.

Bloody your knuckles and break your bones

For they are yours to sacrifice.

Expect no one to do so for you.

Expect fear to laugh, and expect pain to last.

But do it anyway.

For great men have spat in the face of fear

And come out victorious.

Others have failed.

But we remember their efforts.

Let us remember yours.

Lest you be forgotten.
