I am not Evil, or Pain, I am Fear. People forget that. It's my job to scare them, but I'm not a bad guy.

Fear is a warning, a reminder that something is dangerous. Fear is Instinct, generations upon generations of instincts to keep you safe. I kept your ancestors alive by scaring them, by reminding them that in the dark, where they can't see are other creatures, other hunters, much more suited to a nighttime hunt, or battle, than they. I am Fear, I am Instinct, I keep you alive.

People talk of Bravery and of not being scared. Fear and Bravery are not mutually exclusive. You can't be brave, if you aren't afraid. Bravery is overcoming Fear, not lacking it. I am Fear, I am Bravery, I challenge you.

Fear anything but Fear itself. To be scared of being afraid is an asinine concept. Fear is a body's natural response to danger, real, or perceived. To be scared of being afraid is impossible anyways. I am Fear, I am Natural, I am a defense.

I am Fear, I keep you safe, remind you that there are more dangerous things than you out there, make you Brave, I make you strong, and I protect you. I am not Evil. I am part of you.

Ana's AN. This is just a Drabble that has been floating around my head on the walk to school, so I decided to post it. I really do believe these things about fear, and thought I should share. ~Ana out =^+^=
