In a moment of vulnerability
you want to rush to action,
search for conclusions,
grip for some illusion of control.
The voice of fear
piles on endless reasons to be afraid --
scenarios dripping in pessimism,
all of the reasons you are a fool.
Can you sit through the storm?
Can you note the fear --
learn from what it has to say,
yet not get carried away?
Will you choose to stay grounded
and follow the voice of hope --
the one that reminds you --
you can find strength in the unknown?
