Fear Calls

It's there but not here
It calls to me and I can hear
But my heart is pained and unable to bear
Oh dear! Oh dear!!
I feel empty and bare
But I seem not to care
I've been self taught how not to let a tear
"Deal with the fear"
They said "and do not let down your gear"
It's gotten to me already, do you not see the sear?
It's grown and now at the rear
Now y'all can cajole and jeer!
But my friends would be the only ones to be there
