Free Cee Hush-Tis Fear I Hear

HUSH, ‘TIS FEAR I HEAR

Yes, I fear
I fear fear 
I fear fear is near
I hear fear’s voice speaking fearfully and fearlessly
I cannot bear fear anymore 
Or the fright that fights its way from the fortitude of night
And wrangles itself from the wrists of darkness 
into the light that languishes in shameful shadows
Because fright often sheds light on the subject of fear
And makes the torment of terror clear
For panic often portends pain
And dread can be found in the most comfortable bed
While horror haunts one’s head
And alarm outweighs the luckiest of lucky charms
While apprehension and tension walk arm in arm
And trepidation trespasses on the truth of solemnity denied
As anxiety becomes a pitiful priority
And phobias forecast a fortress wherein fear hides
And worry scurries into darkened corners of concern
And the edges of a silken fabric are frayed by being afraid
Because I am scared
As the fangs of fear are bared
Yes, I fear
I fear a spear
I fear a tear
And I fear yet another year of fearing fear
