Sometimes I just want to stop fighting
And focus on living
The battle of the bulge
The constant fight for self esteem
The war against terrorism
That isn’t even a really real thing
Fighting our fears
Bombarded with fear everywhere we turn
Conspiracy theories
That obviously have a big dose of truth behind them
Fighting against social injustices
Outside of our own communities
The economic crises
Because money is a false economy
The evil doers
Every where we turn
It seems to me the thing we are fighting the most
Is fear
The fear of things that exist around us
Not always in our own physical world
But on the tv
When you turn the radio on
On your computer
No matter what you search
So to live
We need to let go of fear?
To live with Joy
To live with Peace
To live with love
To live with happiness
To live life
Without fearing death
Where does this fear come from
Why does it dominate our lives?
I choose life and
love not fear
