Fear Is Just Your Protege

Fear has not wavered Fear has not changed Fear will not budge even in chains As much as you'd like, fear will stay And panic will keep from being at bay It will hold your hand in times of fear Your sanity derived from a place without cheer You're doing more damage than you see And fear is your brave prodigy You conquer your home You lock your doors You forget to pray for the ones at loss Your pride is struck and you're on your knees You only wish to fulfill your needs Hold your tongue, fear will honor You seem to forget you are the teacher Mark my words and do not stray Fear is just your protégé
