Fear

there is a tornado in my head
whipping around destroying everything in its path
i lie in bed
feeling its wrath
i just gotta keep going
for something has been eating away at me for quite some time now
i'm just standing there waiting for it to take its bow
the darkness consumes me 
i long to be free
free of this pain,of the fear
that reappears 
every time i see something that reminds me of it
its like that tightening of my chest
its anxiety at its best
and me at my worst
because fear has devoured me whole
i am nothing but a mere shadow
a wisp of life swept away by the wind of fate
i am broken now
to broken to fix
because what people don't know is that when fear devours you, you become it
so i am the new fear haunting, torturing
it is the worst fate of all
to do the thing you so once were afraid of
until someone else breaks
and you return to above
