Fear is a shadow,

It makes you hide.

It makes you suffer

Alone,

In the cold

Of its presence

It taunts you

With its false

Identity.

It is stealthy and

Sly.

Hope is a light,

That shines in the

Darkness.

It comforts you in its warm

Embrace.

As it delights in your smile

It will always guard you

As long as you

Believe it is there.

It is kind, loving, and strong.

Which will run your life in the long battle that is you.
