The Favor of Fear

Before you surrender
your fears, you must believe
you can surrender your fears.
Before you can believe you can
surrender your fears, you must
want to surrender your fears.
Before you can want to surrender
your fears, you must feel them
crushing you and choking you.
And after you have felt this,
may you one day come to know
that fear has done you a favor.
