Shouldn't…but Do

Written last week by my 12-year old…

Fear is a master of disguise, an illusionist.

Fear goes around picking on people to make himself look big…although he himself is quite small.

The first time you face something, Fear relies on the unknown.

Humans, by nature, are frightened by the unknown.

It’s like going into the dark closet with the scary monsters for the first time,

You flip on the light, only to find that it’s just a dresser and some sheets.

Fear relies on people not making connections between each other to say – “Don’t be afraid.”

Let’s all just hold that thought.
