FUD

He arrives uninvited, always at night.
“Are you sure?” is FUD’s entire vocabulary.

Argue with him and he feeds your fears.
Listen to him and he unleashes your uncertainty.
Quote him and he doubles your doubts.

Run from him and he’ll ride on your shoulder.

There is only one way to stop running.

Pick this JOY up.

Hold him close, the way you’d hold anything small and scared.

FUD cannot haunt the one who holds him.

He never could.
