Fear

A fear driving my heart, 
Taking me nowhere 

No way to be a part, 
Of my will to dare

Things around me start,   
To make me scare 

My tenderness so much in thwart,  
Looks impossible to bear 

The strange force can tear me apart, 
My voice cloaked in fear 

Even unable to hide in thought, 
My nerves keep me in despair
