Fear Not

by Stan Phillips

Fear not the sound and fury of the storm that batters the night beyond the window. And be not afraid of the unknown terrors that lie outside your likelihood to experience them. Being in this world carries with it so much that is out of your control. Things to be wary of. Be brave, for bravery is needed.

And fear not the storm that rages beyond your window, rather respect its power, and focus on those things that are within your grasp. Yes, acknowledge that the storm can limit your actions, but it cannot limit YOU. For you too, are a force of nature, with as much right to exist as any transient storm. And tomorrow will be another day.

Things to avoid.

But don't allow them to impede you as you walk confidently through your time upon this planet.

And you will know there is no need to ever be afraid of life.

Stan Phillips is a poet, musical podcast maker, part-time wannabe male model, and occasional stand up comedian. “I used to be a psychotherapist/ counsellor when I had an honest job. I was born into prewar London, and attended 17 schools (my father believed they couldn’t hit a moving target) and I eventually finished up here in Ireland. Still wondering what I will be when I grow up — but enjoying writing my quirky poetry as I do so.” Discover more about Stan on Mom’s Favorite Reads website: https://moms-favorite-reads.com/moms-authors/stan-phillips
