Yes it’s me, its fear again, that feeling to get to know you <br />I came to meet you a few times, but you didn’t let me in <br />Let me tell you about myself <br />I’m your friend, the best you’ll ever have <br />and the worst there’s ever been <br />I won’t lie to you, yet I’ll always have your back <br />Telling you the truth, might sound rude <br /> <br />Where are you running to, why do you avoid me <br />Why do you turn down every chance to know me <br />I’m not scary, just lonely, you’ll get used to it trust me <br />I’m the honest opinion inside your head <br />That feeling you get in your gut <br />Not the monster they make me out to be <br />Or some alien personality <br />You’re not a robot navigated by remote control <br />or a shadow that follows around <br />Be your own king wear your own crown <br />Let me give you my advice, even though you don’t what to hear it <br />Let me in to your life, let me give you my opinion <br />The fear is of fear itself, the feeling to feel and be yourself <br />It’s not lonely, don’t worry I’ll keep you company <br />You’ve got the power to tell your own story <br />So don’t let me sit there collecting dusty and getting rusty <br />Cause all that will do, is make me more scary <br /> <br /> <br />(2010-Esther Douek)<br /><br />Life in a Poem<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friendly-fear-life-in-a-poem-fear/
