Admit To It
Fear hides within levity
by poking fun at itself.
Yet there’s no sanctuary
and it’s quickly ferreted out.
It freezes time and kills dreams
adding a chill to each breeze.
And makes us feel fallible
testing our humanity.
No security blanket
can keep it at bay for long.
And when it enters our hearts
we break into a cold sweat.
It’s a feeling we can't curb
festering inside of us.
And it influences our lives
though few will admit to it.
