Fear lives in all of us.
It quickens the heartbeat.
It tightens the lungs.
It sparks in the mind before the move.

Deep inside the brain it takes shape —
the almond, al-lawza, the amygdala.
The place where fear begins,
where fight or flight is decided.

Most see fear as weakness.
We see it as proof.
Proof that you are alive.
Proof that you are standing at the edge of something real.

We don’t bury fear.
We claim it.
We climb with it.
