Fear

Afraid of change, Afraid of yourself, Of feelings untamed Taking you off the shelf. Fear itself has its sting. You don't dare to dream, And your heart won't sing. Hope would end it, And freedom would soar, But fear can't open the door. It's a monster Stealing your goals, Undermining your courage And shrinking your souls. If you only knew How life could be Without fear of your destiny, You'd let go and take a stand Crushing fear in your hand.

Fear, anxiety, these things I know and recognize. Even though everyone always tell you how it can be without, it just doesn't work!
