Fear

Darkness and gloom,

Despair and doom

Makes you scared day by day,

Blocks your street

Brings defeat

And all you want is to run away.

Run away to the meadows

Far away from the shadows

Run where no one knows you

Run to where the birds and bees,

Rivers, mountains, animals, trees

Croons, caresses, surrounds you.

Whoever you are, whatever you do

Fear is always around you.

Both in dimness and in light.

But its inane to pine and mope

Because with fear, there is hope

Visible, yet out of sight.

Even though the fear is gripping,

Chasing, binding, choking, suffocating

And there is no escape that you can see

The walls of despair

Can never be too near

So you can always be strong and just break free.
