Taking Measures

How do you deal with fear?

A whirlwind tight, 

  dont let that fear

     grip and squeeze 

        the life from you

Pull the fear from

  your throat and belly

    throw it down then stomp 

      until it becomes but dust

Fear runs away

  with menacing tail

    between its creeping legs

      and you are timid no longer
