I scared my fears away

I scared my fears away
From everything and all.
But these fears to my dismay
were always on display.

I led my soul astray
In wilderness and law.
But this soul to my dismay
Would never fade away.

I formed a god from clay
And gave my breath to him.
But this god to my dismay
Was always dull and grim.

I asked night to shine today
And light to get darker.
But this night to my dismay
Would never go away.

I sought some sense in a blind alley
And meaning in a closed box.
But this sense to my dismay
Was always far away.

I asked time to delay
The scars of my decay.
But this time to my dismay
Would always run away.

I left my life in disarray
And future in my yesterday.
Though my fears were all away
I still had reasons for my dismay.

We are cowards!

We are afraid to live the way we want to.
We are afraid to live in accordance with our beliefs and ideals.
We are afraid to follow our desires.
We are afraid to pursue our dreams.
We are afraid to trust our hearts and our passions.
We are afraid to perish in the turmoil of life.
We are afraid to die for the sake of our happiness.
We are afraid that we will be judged as mad, selfish and egotistic.
We are afraid of nature, gods and people.
We are afraid of rules, laws and regulations.
We are afraid of punishment and condemnation.
We are afraid of views and opinions, conventions and religions.
We are afraid to be insignificant and poor.
We are afraid to be left alone and forgotten.
We are afraid to be different and inconsistent.
We are afraid to risk everything we have for something we believe in.
We are afraid to try and to fail.
We are afraid to alter the course of our fate.
We are afraid to take destiny into our hands.
We are afraid to change.
We are afraid to be free.
We are afraid to be ourselves.
We are cowards.
We are cowards that cannot untie ourselves from society.
