Fear

I'm shaking like a leaf I'm curled up in a ball Pressed into a corner Up against the wall The fear is ever present The reason quite unknown The answer is in my head But the door is always closed The meaning of my existence Is to constantly be afraid The condition is quite serious Positions I cannot trade Some people call me crazy But if they only knew Lunacy would be so easy Compared to what I go through A welcome change of pace A reality of untold truth For if you knew what I did You'd be petrified too.

I appreciate both your comments and your lovely welcome. You've brought a smile to my face. It's a dreary, foggy, rainy Iowa morning, it's nice to see such a bright light from your words. I thank you.
