Can'T Run, Yell, Or Fight

Take Me Away
I can no longer see straight 
As it walks towards me, 
I can't tell is this death?
Will I die or will I just be passed by 
This fear is torture 
I must leave this area

I am scared so I want to run
My legs won't move

I am still so I must shout
My voice is gone

I am brave and I want to fight
My arms won't raise  

Fear is the worst torture of all 
How long will I be scared?
At least the pain comes quick when you fall
The anticipation is worse than any physical harm that is feared
