I know what the fear is.
The fear is not for what is lost.
What is lost is already in the wall.
What is lost is already behind the locked doors.
The fear is for what is still to be lost.
― Joan Didion, Blue Nights

Fear is something we are all capable of conceiving. Height and might as varied as speck of a dust to the length and
strength of a mountain. Sometimes people fear simple things, I do. Things which
are so infantile , when looked, but means a great deal. In time this naive
brain is conditioned and it starts confronting the demons in it s own peculiar
ways.
I fear things. Things that are yet to come. I fear the unveiling of the
curtains that have been lying closed for years. They were intentionally kept
closed. Now they think I'm strong enough, inviolable and can handle what
awaits. But am I ??

Fear not, but fear too
as it's something
not easy to dispose of
use it as a catalyst
if I can do..
Like wrinkles on my tee
some fears are temporary
little convincing is all I need
to render them dead
garb wrinkle free..
Cheerful countenance
at all times
often helps me most
I pretend, and just like that
it ends..
I fear to loose
what I might not get
and what I may
and that keeps messing
with me, night and day..
I fear not to loose
what I intend to,
bonded so strong
deep-six these old souvenirs
how do I do ?
Some fears are soaring
never fading stains on my tee
ever flaunting their presence
biting little teethes
ecociding, poor
me..
To extol this fact to the world
in flashy words that, I fear
sometimes, every time
what that makes of me ??
a wrinkled, stained tee ??
My mum says-little fear
is good. It drives us forward for good. The catalyst, which we all in need of.
Fear provides that push forward. But, how to scale this figure ? Can we scale
this figure??
