It seems like I fear a lot of things around me
and within me too.
However, after a considerable amount of
thoughtful introspection, I came to comprehend
that I fear the things that rest inside of me.
I realized that I fear the things that make myself a 'me'.

I fear solitude.
Solitude, not because of the separateness or the loneliness it brings with it,
But because I am aware that solitude offers me the space to
Sharpen my little daggers of great contemplations and convergence of life.
These sharp weapons once sharpened, keep
The mundane regularity at bay!

I fear being left alone.
Well, who does not fear being left alone?

I fear being left alone because
I know how unstoppable I can get when I begin to enjoy my own company!
Be it an abstract philosophical excursion or
Measuring the depth of life’s profundity;
Nothing seems to stop my appetite for exploration of life from life.

I fear being left unattended.
Yes, I do.
I always wonder, ‘What if there is nobody to stop for a while and care for me?’
I wonder this because I have germinated my own grit in every situation.
I lead resilience.
And transformation follows me like a shadow follows the body.
I grapple with fear because I know the grit I bring to the table
Has the ability to turn tables around, forever!

I fear being a part of the world that has become
Another name for loud glamour.
I fear not knowing the tricks of their trade…
Rather I simply cannot be like them.
I am thoroughly convinced that if at the slightest chance
I try to ape the glamour of this world; I could turn fierce.
Yes, I am aware of the power of my femininity
Enhances my own Grace
Basking in the undying glory of time

I fear darkness and being left in the dark;
Especially, being left in the dark by my own people.
Beware! For it is in the dark that I easily manifest my inner glimmer.
The ‘dark’ strengthens my aura to emit an energy that rests
Unparalleled to every other energy traced on earth.
I create my own light!
