Di Fronte Alle Tue Paure (Facing My Own Fears)


POEM 47: Di Fronte Alle Tue Paure (Facing My Own Fears)


I told them to face their fears.
They did and won.

They did and made peace.
Now I'm visited by my own demons 
I fight them and then flee. 

I told them to take risks by the horn 
They did and reaped bountiful yields. 
Now I'm challenged by love 
I hide like tares in a wheat field. 

Don't laugh at my cowardice
Nor mock my many fears 
Look in the mirror and you'll find 
The nay in your every yes.

Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...
