I conquered a fear
At last I did
A fear of “The Fear”
I must admit
Unknown to me that I could be
Free of worries that have crowded me
I sat there praying for my safety
As the wind scraped my face and my body
While sitting on a machinery
That was said to be of no safety
In shocking view of my reality
I realized that Fear was just my imagery
It had no way of knowing my ability
And therefore I broke my dependency
Freedom replaced the Fear in me
The Motorbike Freed the whole of me
It’s really fantastic; I really love the poetry. It’s the language with which you can say words in short but deep and meaningfull.
“I realized that Fear was just my imagery.” What a great line! Truly, Rain, freedom lies on the other side of fear.
FREEDOM…its a precious word and yes,I was swaying along your poem 😀
woot to your freedom! I love this one 🙂
This reminded me of the time when I went ziplining with my friends and I was screaming my head off and my friends were all laughing at me because I was so scared.
Beautiful!

Ain’t no feeling like being free. I love the move from fear to freedom. Great job!
Loved this! Reminded me of the first time on the back of our Harley. But actually driving our dirt bike was even more freeing, although once was enough. Talk about a rush.
Love the words, flow, rhythm and story. With words as your palette, you paint beautifully.
Oh! It really feels like freedom 🙂 Deep and true words: ‘In shocking view of my reality
I realized that Fear was just my imagery’
Love it!
A story well told in poetry.
I am happy you are now free.
