The fearless left standing
Poetry written by Skye Young
Hate is born from fear and the lack of understanding,
a force that drives the darkened minds to push the ones left standing.
The weight of the world feels heavy,
a silent dust of fog,
that’s clouding peoples judgements as they walk the path of lost.
The divide is deep and rigid like the centre of the earth,
although it’s not as grounding
it’s unbalanced, it is hurt.
The ego is stepping forward,
its showing it’s true face,
for it is just an ego
a weakened powered chase.
They’re poisoning our minds, hands forced against our mouths,
telling us to stay quiet as they shut our voices down.
Intoxicating our bodies so we lose all sense of being,
leading those into a trance
a blinded vision way of seeing.
Freedom is the confusion for those who are still asleep,
paralysed by the fear of power but power YOU should seek.
For the awakened minds who see it, the truth has been revealed
that the darkened minds who seek to hide,
light now shines on their shield.
And so we stand together,
for freedom of our rights,
for they cannot take away our powered love of light.
Love is born from the divine,
an energy that is healing and as our inner lion roars
the fearless are now left standing!
If you live in fear it can become a crippling disease that can eat away at your soul and your mind. A parasite feeding off every part of your being, if you let it.
I’m not talking about the safe level of fear we all need in order to protect ourselves from situations in life. That emotion and shield is vital to us as we navigate through our journey here on earth.
The fear I am describing is the one that can rule your everyday life. The fear that stops you from doing what you love, the fear that holds you back from being who you are or want to be. The fear that can change you as a person and guide you in the wrong direction or force you to make choices you never wanted you to make.
Fear can rule us all at some point in our lives and that’s what inspired this poem.
I wrote this in the heat of the pandemic, a very close but yet distant memory. A time where fear ruled most and lots of blame and judgement resided. Where we were all tested to question ourselves and the people around us. A time where some sacrificed their lives, bodies and morals for another dose of fear to eat away at their existence. In many ways it brought the worst out in some people and created a huge divide within communities and families. But amogst all that I did see a lot of love. People inspiring others to fight for their rights and standing together in unison. Communities coming together in that fearless energy and standing up for what they believed in.
That experience opened my eyes to the subject of fear and what it can really do to people. How it can change people in an instant. Not only was it relevant then, i feel the subject is also even more so relevant now.
I wrote this poem with the idea to inspire those to not let that dark fear paralyse you and take away your power, your soul, body and mind. To not let it rule your life.
Stand in that fearless energy when needed and walk in your own truth. It can be more peaceful not following the crowd.
