They say a man's greatest enemy is himself
I concede
However,
A man's greatest enemy is not just himself though,
But the fear of himself
Fear, me.
I
It is I that makes a man stay in a position that is unfavorable for a long time.
Not going forward
Not going backward
Stagnant
It is I that make a man lazy to do things that would change his life for the best
Too worried to be right
Too scared to be wrong
Redundant
It is I that make a man choose mediocrity over superiority
Too scared to Stand out
Too nervous so stand down!
Unimportant
It is I that make you go with the flow when you should get angry and go against the flow
Too nervous to Speak out
Too scared so Shut Up!
Insignificant!
It is I that make you choose Damnation even when you need Salvation
Too Eager for Redemption
Yet so Unready for the Sacrifice
Isn't that just a waste of time?
Thinking you have a choice
I rule you
I control you
I, your most dear companion, Fear
Fear
Fear
Fear
But!
"When YOU DECIDE to BREAK FREE
you will SHAKE HIS YOKE from YOUR NECK" (Genesis 27:40)
When you decide to break free
When you decide you are no longer going to live insignificantly
When YOU decide that you are more than this
When you DECIDE that enough is enough
When you decide that Your Light Will Shine
Then you will break this yoke off your shoulder
And be a free man
But not for long
Oh most definitely not for long
I will be back
Your dear companion,
-Fear
