My Box of Fear

My Box of Fear I compromise my indifference with misery Oblivious to my restrain Afraid to linger into the unknown Beyond this box in which I dwell This is my comfort zone My only clasp of what I can retain--my life I am protected by normalities My destiny is easier to formulate In this box of fear, I can control what will happen Outside this box, I have to relinquish the power Giving it to someone or something else That I can NOT compromise with And release my freedom I shall not leave For fear is what binds me to these four walls Unknowing of what lies beyond Or how to face the obstacles that I may encounter Understanding that I could be so much more That this entrapment in which I live can be different This journey could be less of a struggle Better, happier, easier..... What I give so easily give away Because of this belt of dread that I wear Just to stay in my box of fear
