Freedom

The Other Side of Fear

On the other side of fear lies opportunity,
A chance to act with pride, to find one’s dignity,
A place to make atonement to all you’ve done a wrong,
A sinner’s chance to sing a former sinner’s song.

On the other side of fear you’ll find your confidence,
There you’ll find a place that’s filled right full with friends
You can then give up on self-efacing diffidence,
And beat a brand new path without dead ends.

Yes there’s life beyond the other side of fear
Where you can start a brand new spanking happy life
Where you can deal with human beings peer to peer
Where no one puts you down and no one gives you strife.

All you have right now, my friend, is dreadful fear of fear.
All you have to do is to resolve to face it down,
For on the other side of fear, people hold you dear,
And no one ever treats you like a silly clown.

It may take some courage to turn your life around,
But that’s okay, you can practice with the little things,
Every time you win a bout, you’ve gained some ground,
Then before you know it, your courage gained its wings.

No more trepidation, no more fear,
No more ghosts and goblins, no more fear of night,
No need to see a chimera, no need for fright,
Face the day with courage, let there be light.

There are no such things as hob-nob-goblins, right?
People bullies are only people, after all,
Once you make them laugh and see the side that’s bright,
You can make a friend of an enemy with gall.

Yes, there be freedom on the other side of fear,
There be occasions to shed a happy tear,
There be love and comfort for you year after year
Waiting there for you on the other side of fear.

In the realm of health and illness, Fear is the first
Impression that comes with Diagnosis.
Fear will walk beside you until you learn
The facts of the disease you’re dealing with.
Then, on the other side of fear,
You can take charge.
