Fear
I held back when I could have gone forward
Since I was a child I felt cornered and tortured
And every attempt to change was a bluff, since
On my hands and feet I put the heavy cuffs –
Because of fear
I said ‘yes’ many times when I could have said ‘no’
What my life would have been like I will never know
I remained seated when I could have stood up
I willingly lapped up the poison oozing from my death cup –
Because of fear
I went left when I should have gone right, and
I shut my eyes when they should have been open wide
I smiled silently when I should have cried, and although
I have not met my death yet, many times I died –
Because of fear
