Fear

The fear it holds me back
Gut wrenching, tears descending
I could fill a thousand rivers
Hope is what I need to deliver

I can smile a thousand smiles
That light shines right through me
You'll see a hollow bottom
I ask, will I be forgotten?

This track I'm on
Goes round in circles
Will someone show me
I need to get off

My mind is tiring
I'm flashing red
My bed feels warm
Will I wake at dawn

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
