Write a letter to your fear (Sponsored by ProWritingAid) 4 months, 3 weeks ago FEAR, BREATHE, THINK, ACT
Malak Kalmoni ChehabFEAR
Fear: fast heart beats feasting feverishly
Every time fear ramps serotonin quickly,
Amply avid in avoiding pain, fastidious in
Remaining alive to tell the tale of FEAR.
FEARBREATHE …
Barely breathing, the brain astoundingly
Reveals its respiratory ease, by reviewing
Every fear, entering the data, waiting
Another moment for analysis, wading,
Through the morass of a lack of logic,
Hearing only haloed heartbeats, heaving.
Eternally aware of time flowing: BREATHE.
BREATHE ..THINK …
Through and push through thinking
Halves my reasoning, homing only on survival
Instead of clarity of thought,
Never receiving the memo of
Knowing that ‘fight or flight’ is all in a knot. THINK.
THINK …ACT …
Actively, arduously permitting action that
Covers slippery seconds of being frozen, while
Time reveals your success, failure, and your missing fervor.
ACT …©️Malak kalmoni chehab ©️

Malak, I really liked how you described this process. Fear can make us overanalyze the simplest situations. It can be difficult to overcome it, especially when you are spiraling and struggling to understand how your body is truly reacting to situations when you are making decisions based on an emotion that controls you. I am glad you took back some control and showed fear who is boss!
