I must face all of my fears.

I dread the dark nights ahead,

yet I must face all of my fears.

I’ll not cower under the blankets,

as the scary midnight hour nears.

 

I cannot put this off any longer,

I must face the demons tonight.

No more running away to hide,

I refuse to give in to my fright.

 

Once the darkness finally arrives,

the eerie whispers will soon follow.

This time I will chase them away,

my terror I will bravely swallow.

 

I will banish all of the demons,

no longer let them rule my life.

I will be happy and free at last,

not overcome by worry and strife.

    Superb poem. When you are afraid, you don’t know how to react to situations. Handling the situation is what will make you strong…what a nice message delivered.
