The Shackles of Fear

Fear, a feeling that grips the heart,

A monster that lurks, tearing us apart,

A shadow that follows, a burden we bear,

And a weight that presses down on us everywhere.

It's a feeling that freezes us in our tracks,

A prison that confines and never relax,

A voice that whispers and never lets go,

And a nightmare that never lets us grow.

Fear is a shackle that binds us tight,

A darkness that clouds our reason and sight,

It's a feeling that holds us back from our dreams,

And a burden that steals our courage and beams.

It's a pain that aches, a wound that never heals,

A weight that presses down and never lifts,

And a monster that whispers in our ears,

Feeding us doubts and fears, down through the years.

But in the light of courage and strength,

We can overcome fear, at any length,

For in the end, fear brings us no peace,

And only courage and strength can ever truly increase.

So let us break free from fear's cruel hold,

And take a stand, and break through the mold,

For in the end, fear is but a shadow,

And with courage and strength, we can overcome the sorrow.
