Ferocious Fear

by Azhagu Meena

I didn't know who you were!

You looked weird!

I was terrified by your sight!

I tried both fight and flight!

You showed me all your might!

Helpless, I pushed myself into a pathetic plight!

I continued to run, you continued to chase!

Terrified and exhausted, I surrendered to you!

With no option left, I had to feel you!

Embrace you! See you and hear you!

When I finally did that with complete devotion,

You started speaking to me!

You asked me to prioritize "myself" over everything,

a luxury which I had denied all my life!

Oh my fear,

you are now my dear!

You made it all clear!!!
