Journey Through Fear
Sense of protest under skies
Of inner silence; external lies
I seek protection from within
But still I have to leave my skin
No more spirit in this life
The more I travel, the less I like
A mortal sickness eating love
Too blind to witness the things above
Inward vision appearing weak
More outer strength is all they seek
Destiny and fate entwined
I fall to question what’s in my mind
Sensing darkness in disguise
An inner noise that lacks the light
In desperation I now fade
Another victim of dying days
No more breathing for better things
Only acceptance and fitting in
My nightmares seep into the earth
I have no power, and no true worth
A dream of falling into skies
I am the silent - a wraith in flight
The world I see behind me lost
I wake to protest what I have caught
I asked a question, it opened doors
Experienced the fear we’re taught
I am wakeful, it’s all I need
More understanding is what I seek
