Fear

Fear is strange, it scares you to death
But never leaves your side
It scares you so much that you lose the will to fight
Fear eats you from within
Until you have no strength left but just to give in
You feel no emotion because all you feel is scared
And you never dare, you never dare to hope
You never dare to love
You never dare to fight
Because you have already given up
Already given up on life....

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.
