Fear of Fear

I fear the fear with panick inside
I tremble I sweat with the breath on my life
The hand that leads me to no where
The silence the stillness that wasn’t quite right

You monster you devil that thing that’s inside
I really not sure what life was about
The truth be told I know your insight
No dreaming or imagining the real thing was at night

The pond the game I remember some things 
The stairs that led me to were the nightmare begins 
The blankness the freezing felt like Ice
From that  day I will remember you took my childlike life
 
My breathing is faster my neck feels tight 
It’s time to loosen the muscles and say goodnight 
Hide under the covers with jaw locked tight
Feel that this thing will never be right 
Closed eyes clenched fists that fight 
Just hide away oh please I die

"The stairs that led me to were the nightmare begins" - this is terror personified if you ask me.
