Let Go of Your Fear

By Chloe Dickinson
Woodstock Union High School, Grade 10

Fear
The single feeling that can lead to so many more things.
It limits you
It prohibits you
It makes you incapable.
But don’t listen to it… It’s just a figment of your imagination.
You gave yourself fear
And you can take it away.

So true.

I love the last two lines, "You gave yourself fear, And you can take it away." This is really true because as you said fear is a figment of imagination. People create their own fears. It's also true that fear does limit you and makes you incapable of doing things. Imagine how much more people could do without fear. This is a great poem!

thanks so much!!
