Secretly Scary
When life gets secretly scary,
you search around for a safe place.
And try blocking reality
with tricks of imagination.
Your anxiety starts to climb
when life gets secretly scary.
For paranoia stalks your thoughts;
overshadowing happiness.
Ghosts of buried memories haunt;
as yesterdays morph into tears.
When life gets secretly scary,
love retreats into wishful dreams.
But dreams only come out at night;
for fantasies fade in the light.
And you're held hostage by your fears;
when life gets secretly scary.
