Do The Thing You Fear To Do

Don’t let fear get a hold on you,
Instead, do the thing you fear to do.
If you’re lost and not sure which path to take,
Listen to your heart, the truth it won’t fake.

But you won’t find the courage by waiting around,
So get down off the fence and onto solid ground.
For in overcoming the fear you’ll look back and see,
That it wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be.

So don’t let fear get a hold on you,
Just do the thing you fear to do,
And next time fear raises its ugly head,
Jump straight into action and kill the fear, dead!
