Shackles of Fear

Noted Nest

By Glen Savio Palmer



The hilltop seemed a mile away

The path was rough, to my dismay

Fear crept in, taking its toll

Holding us tight, stealing our soul.


A whisper said, “You can’t succeed,”

Trapped me in my own misdeeds

The voice grew louder without a sound

“You were better off in your hometown.”


She stepped in, held my hand,

“So what if things don’t go as planned?”

We must step forth, face our fright

Trust ourselves with all our might.


We trudged on, onwards, upwards

Fueled by the strength of her words

The majestic peak soon in sight

All my fears now seemed so slight.


Stronger than the fear we feel

Our hearts and minds can always heal

For we are powerful, and we shall see

Fear is not a shackle, and we are free.
