Jane Tomlin - Fear

There are often times in ones life when you just think 'you only live once'. So when your in that position, frozen in time just think we all fear something. Whether it be a fear of spiders, fear of jumping off a bridge and bouncing back or even a fear of moving forward, it's still fear.

Fear is like a raw feeling, which burns immensely deep inside.
Footsteps behind you as you walk down a narrow corridor, the screech of an owl outside your window or the chilling cry of a wolf howling at the moon.

Dreams which turn into nightmares. Swiftly changing, so fast that you wake up in a state of shock. The black curtain between nightmares and reality is slowly ripping, breaking the barrier. Soon the creatures that were locked away in your memory are invading your conscious mind.

The fear that wells up in the pit of your stomach arises like a spring. Natural yet eerie, fear makes up the basis of humanity, the foundations of the soul in which you place the final brick.
Do not fear the future for those who make no mistakes do not make anything.

So when your on the edge, looking down at the valley bottom, just let yourself go and feel yourself spring back.
