Feeling the Fear

fear has negative downward effects
freezing you within its painful grip
there's a consciousness deep within
making you feel about to slip
 
Why has fear this awful power?
that numbs you into its hold
making you lose your nerve
freezing solid so very cold
 
This fear has an inconsistency
never knowing its next hit
such is this fearful devastation
you really want out of this pit
 
It ties your stomach in a knot
twisting and turning all inside
gripping organs internally breathless
catching one on the offside
 
If you can hold your nerve
as this fear paralyses you sore
maybe victory is round the corner
or defeats lies at the door!
