My Fear

Let he who is

Sinless

Cast a stone first

We run from the truth

The truth we know

We know will bring the light

Why?

I do not cringe at failure

I've been in its mire

I have arisen a better me

I do not fear my flaws

I've known the strength

Of their weakness

I do not fear defeat

I've seen the victory therein

Which no ephemerality could behold

This is what I fear

That I'll one day run away

And dodge as soon as I hear

The footsteps of

My truth

The truth I so preach
