Fear

What is fear
 In the eye of a man 
Is it the thing
That over whelms you?

That makes you fall to your knees
Or is it the pain
You feel when your heart 
Has just been broken

Is fear that voice that tells you that 
You can’t go on 
Or that you can’t do it anymore 
Is it the thing that stops you?

From ending up with a bullet
In your chest 
Does fear make your 
Heart race

Does fear make you jump? 
Does it make you shake?
When you know you did something wrong
Does it make you cry? 

When you feel pain 
Fear is every thing
Can you tell me
What you think 
Fear is?
