Fears

I made a journey through the thickets In a forest deep down the red woods The sun rays set on my shaved head A sound of the rattle snake startled me Which made me jump in fear With every touch on my bare skin Of leaves and grass under my feet. I trebled in fear when the shrubs moved With every shaking leaf of the woods Darkness started to settle in quietly Without even making a hissing sound The lights in the clouds faded away Like a candle fades out its light With its last drop of the melting wax. I walked for a while I heard a roar Of a lion heading towards my direction Gasping for the air I couldn't breath In between my fears and bravely I reached my breaking point Screamed my mouth off my face And heard the roar fading away. For a moment I laughed and shed tears Tears of joy that I was safe and sound I screamed again just to make sure That I was not screaming in a dream But screaming in reality of my fears And it is then that I knew that my fears Are the blocks blocking my very life From moving ahead against the storms Which blocks my way to victory.
