MIMITs

MIMITs are short, spontaneous rhyming verses covering a diverse range of subjects—from everyday observations to profound reflections.

52 / Fear Less

52 / Fear Less

Fear, or the removal of it as much as humanly possible seems currently to be my life's mission! From my first breath, inhaled as bombs flew over my head, fear has been an unwelcome companion. However, I can now cheerfully report that although not vanquished by any means,
