This is in my bone
It takes over within moments
It impacts with uncertainty
It takes over me without calling
It does not have any plan
Its purpose is to take over my joy
It moves to take all of me
From within nothing else remains
End up an endless worrier
With vicious circle appearing
It is all a dark thinking reality
With nothing to create and build
Its function is to keep us aware
To be attuned with new reality
To know our next move
To prepare and pre-empt future
Fear is mysterious
It has a key to unknown
It is not pleasant
Yet it is daring
Need to be careful
Not to fall a victim
Not to surrounder
To an unjustly reason
Fear and its function
Can drive us forward
As and when in fear
Push and make things clear
Fear is a basic emotion. This is an emotion that everyone experiences. Sometimes fear can be mixed with other emotions. Fear is not pleasant but it can be necessary at times. For example it is good to be afraid in certain situations. Fear can be used as a drive to make changes, to prepare us for what is to happen in future. We need to be careful of fear because there is a valid or invalid reason for fear. Sometimes fear can be justified where we can make appropriate decision accordingly. Sometimes fear can be unjustified and result of faulty reasoning, therefore we need to be careful to recognise it and deal with it appropriately.
Fear becomes meaningful depending on how we respond to it. At times fear can be positive because dealing with it resembles our life purpose and how we respond to our freedom. There is healthy fear which is protective us. Also there is dysregulated fear which underlies disorders such as phobias and PTSD. Therefore fear is informative rather than purely negative. Awareness of fear mechanism helps us have a better understanding and interpreting it. So by having better awareness, we can experience fear differently and perhaps in a more constructive way.
