Fear

We are born with a tear
We start Life with pain and fear
The shock we get at birth
Makes us think if it is worth

Being pushed left and right
Confronting our first day light
Breathing for the first time, air
Fighting the fear who will dare?

When we first came here
We didn’t know about fear
Watching, feeling, not one word
Screaming, crying to get heard

Using patience without end
We sometimes have to pretend
Not knowing how to speak
We could only wait and peek

As a baby we can’t fight our fear
We have to accept what we hear
Parents are saying, they will grow
Their pain will soon have to go

Later they will learn to be free
Master their fears, not flee
Once they realize who they are
Their will see how they came so far

Knowing to dive and mastering this art
They find themselves deep in their heart
Human beings always strive
To survive and to find Life.
