Love Your heart and mine Are gently entwined, Journeying together, Your hand in mine. You’re the friend, the lover I longed to discover.   I love you Just the way you are: I know I will never find another you.     Fear The little voice in your head, Your trembling hands, Your clammy palms— You’ve sensed a lion on the prowl. You’ve chosen to stay away from it all.   Fear twists the spoke in your wheel. It plants the thorn in your rose. Fear is the dragon you dread; You would rather lie all day in bed.   Look fear in the eye Until it shrivels and dies. Fear must not survive.   Anger When anger strikes, You unleash the beast inside. He’s either raging mad Or cold as ice.   Anger does you little good. Control it if you will— Only let a little spill.     Happiness Happiness is… The twinkle in your eye When she says hello , not goodbye.   Happiness ...

    It’s the villain in me That sets me back, That forces me to give up Or give in.   I see the darkness, Not the light. I see hopelessness Not the flickering flame That may be in sight.   She steals my courage, Leaves me trembling with fear. How I wish I could put up a fight, But I choose to let the villain stay.   This villain She’s controlling, Not accepting, Resisting inevitable change. She introduced me to overthinking And negativity too. I can’t live my life Allowing this villain to rule; I’ve got to let her go.   She still visits, But I’m trying: Choosing to be the person I want to be. Writing my own shining story.   I 'm participating in the weekly Blogchatter Bloghop challenge.

At railway platforms, malls and airports I‘d rather use the staircase than an escalator. I say an escalator is as fearful as a creepy-crawly alligator A moving staircase 😅That would be straight out of a Harry Potter. My friends join me in the elevator Cajoling me to step on the scary people - mover I am terrified! Ha Ha! An escalator to me only spells disaster.   Snakes – Snakes may be beautiful and fascinating to some, but to me they are simply slippery, slimy creatures who bring on nightmares even during the day. I fear snakes and I can’t even bear to look at one for long.  Many moons ago, my then toddler brother went to pick up something that he thought was a black ribbon, but which turned out to be a snake. The disaster was averted in time by my ever-vigilant parents.   Spir...
