Face Your Fears

face your fears
or they’ll face you
til you choose
something different to do

put it off
and you will find
the work much harder
the second time
the third time
the fourth time
the fifth time...

toxic shame, is game
you will never win
time to pick up,
get out there
and walk again

help somebody else
put that bread out on the water
look outside yourself
find your plight is so much smaller
we can rise above
the residues of early traumas
the choice is yours,
how you respond
echos universally and beyond
and beyond
