1. The Truth About Fear - Jadine Lydia
it is easy
to fear life
when you are taught
that fear will keep you safe;
but my darling,
look down –
it’s fear that’s got you

7. The Lonely Heart - Jadine Lydia
Her heart ached.
Heavy from loneliness,
full from fear.
A seam of sadness,
stitched, split and spat,
thick black tar,
on her pale pink lungs.
Hungry for love,
her stomach rumbled,
a thunderous roar;
an empty void.
Lightning hit her central system,
sparks burnt every last synapse,
and she screamed.
‘Let me be seen!’
The heavens opened,
her word was heard,
and suddenly, she could see.
Beneath her loneliness,
was stitched her fear.
Beneath her fear,
was etched her hunger.
Beneath her hunger,
was sown her soul,
just waiting to be seen.

She knew, there was

Not over, not under,
but through.
And so she took a deep breath,
dived right in and emerged
as something new.
extract from ‘And So She Chose’

11. Fear Nothing - Oswald Chambers
