Fear and Love

Fear and love, fear and love. The fear of being loved or the love of being feared? The fear of being unloved and the love of being fearless. A concoction of self appraisal? Or self doubt hidden behind walls of ones' own pity. Inside those walls nothing but flesh, blood, bone on the outside? Actions. Actions speak loud and clear. But fear those whose actions do not fear. An eye for an eye? Blindness to fear, fear to violence. The love of fear and the fear of love. Speak, speak loud and clear.

Wow, you wrote an incredible poem. Fear and love are huge motivators...and yet they are very different. I like how you employed binary opposition to convey the parallel and the opposite natures of these two powerful motivational forces. Thanks for sharing.
