Don't Fear

-Don’t Fear-
by
Keaton Foster



You
There
Quite queer
Don’t fear
Have no concern
Not a one
Fight the urge
To be yourself
To be everyone else
Stand for something
Like a drum
Beat
Make a damn sound
Be righteous and loud
Be heard
Let them know
Fear not the show
Force them to see
Blind a few will plead
Continue on
Have no sympathy
Why would you
Not an ounce
Offer no mercy
Be as crude as required
Punish the weak
Slaughter the pointless
Bloodied and bruised
Each wound will heal
On the other side of pain
Is something else
Another perspective
A relatable paradise
This world
The one we all live
Is made up
Of two types of people
Those who are afraid
And those who aren’t
Decide
Make your choice
Stick with it
Don’t fear
Not under any circumstance
Stand for your something
Whatever it will be
Fight a good fight
Give this world hell
Dispel all precognitions
Surprise those who doubt
Kick them in the teeth
With the reality of your needs
Show them that you
Won’t take Second place
To any one of them
Don’t fear
Not just words
But an eternal idea
From which all things
Are to in time be born
Give your life
A life
Give your heart
A beat
Lend your mind
A form of release
Then
And only when
Show them all
Even if they refuse
Make them see
Make them hear
Be abundantly clear
Don’t mince your words
Don’t fear
Why would you…
