I’m taming the fear
Deep breaths, six times a day…
I’m calming the beast.
In, out, hold again.
Fighting natural angst…
Was Abel able?
Signs signal stop
Signs signal go, no don’t go…
I’m claiming the fear.

Ah, sometimes the anxieties in life can cause paralysis we have to work through. So many decisions to make, problems to solve. You penned it so beautifully in your haiku series! Breathe deep and KUDOS, dear Earthling! ❤

i don’t think we ever conquer emotions, and the more we resist them and try to control them, the more suffering. Just allow them to be felt, they may have a message.
