Fear


I have this fear
Of darkness
Or is it the unknown that lies within?

I have this fear
Of height
Or is it the unknown impact of the fall?

I have this fear
Of snakes
Or is it the unknown pain it'll bring?

I have this fear
Of writing
Or is it the unknown loss of inspirations?

I have this fear
Of letting go
Or is it the unknown world I might fall into?

I have this fear
Of fearing
Or is it just plain me, with my insecurities?

Fear is healthy,
But only with courage
What will happen, though, 
If I fear courage and bravery?

The unknown scares me,
And I run
I run far, and I run fast
But with my escape I fear the journey
If I fall, if I tire, if I collapse into piles of bones...

I fell, I tired, I collapsed into piles of bones
Fear brought me fears back in reality
And I feared again
If I run they'll come haunt me in the night

Fear
Stopped me from fearing
Now I trudge on
With only one fear of all fears.

And still I feared.
