Fight Or Flight Poem by Agam Wadhwa

When fear comes close and feels so real,
I have to choose what path to feel.
Do I stay strong and face the fight,
Or run away, into the night?

My heart beats fast, my body shakes,
A choice that every moment makes.
Do I stand tall or turn around,
Leave my worries safe and sound?

In fighting, I find strength inside,
In running, I let fear decide.
Both choices hard, but deep within,
The answer comes, I choose to win.

To face my fears or let them win,
Each has a price, each choice within.
But courage leads, through darkest night,
And helps me choose: fight or flight.
