Anxiety

If from fear I did not shake

a smile would replace this face now blank

 

I would

recollect how to skate,

bellylaugh as I jump in a  lake

 

As I

gallantly run toward my fate,

If from fear I did not shake

Anxiety can be a horrible thing to live with. I have learned to control mine for the most part. Not much affect me anymore. I know this feeling all too well.

Lovely. Fear prevents us from doing so many wonderful things.

[Desert Dreamer]

It is best to face our fears, otherwise we would not experience those smiles and laughter.

courage is fear that has said it's prayers, or is simply a crazy fear.
