Fears-A Villanelle Poem by Stacey Gibbs

Do not be afraid of your fears
It will only stop you from your goal
Causing you one too many tears.

Your body is full of tremors
Because you still need to quarrel
Do not be afraid of your fears

Though your friends are dears
By being scared, they lose their soul
Causing you one too many tears.

Your dreams become nightmares
As your fears reveal
Do not be afraid of your fears

By being afraid, many turn their rears
Which will turn to burning coal
Causing you one too many tears.

I look at you and leer
Because you gave up on your goal
Do not be afraid of your fears
Causing you one too many tears.
