WE SHOW NO FEAR
We are conceived in the womb,
Surrounded by warmth.
We are confined within strong walls.
We enter the world
From the loins of a woman
We suckle the breast,
It will give us life
We trust,
We are loved.
Even though we don’t understand
We feel secure
From the breast milk we grow
We begin to become our own person
We are a child for such a fleeting moment,
We have so much to learn.
Being a child is preparing us for our destiny.
We show no fear.
We leave the nest
We leave the security.
It is now that we show fear,
Fear of what,
Fear of ourselves
Can we succeed in life?
What is life??
What is success??
Have we been taught?
Taught about life,
Taught that we are capable of anything.
Life does not have to be a dream.
We show fear
We co- exist with a partner
One stronger than the other.
The weak one does not reach their full potential
As they are insecure.
They show fear.
But with a death
The insecure can prevail.
When they are asked the question
“What do you want to do for yourself”?
So hard to answer
But you search your soul,
Look within,
You dig deep
You show fear.
It is then you realise
That like a child
Who shows no fear
You can gain strength from them.
We cannot retreat to the womb
But we can still feel secure
By believing in yourself.
We don’t have to show fear
