FEAR

July 1991

Living with fear
Crippling one's mind

Can't move forward
Can't see behind

A creature of darkness
Which is never kind

                        A beast
                        One that is starving
                        Devouring all in it's path
                        Leaving coldness behind in it's tracks

                        Living with fear
                        Drowning emotions
                        Leaving my heart cold and empy
                        Yet aching with need

                        Fear of the past repeating
                        Fear of the living
                        Fear of one's self

                        Living with fear
                        Leaves me alone
                        Left in the darkness
                        Afraid of the light

                        Living with fear
                        Eventually will kill you
                        Shriveling your soul
                        Starving your heart
                        So nothing will grow..

                        Living with fear
                        Endless and hungry
                        Warping one's senses
                        Warping one's views
                        Nothing is small, meaningless or free
                        Everything judged, weighed and reflected
                        Such an existence is empy and bleak
