The Fear

The fear to cry
The fear to die
The fear of rejection
The fear of no affection
The fear of life without direction
The fear of silence
The fear of defiance
The fear of devotion
The fear of emotion
The fear of being alone
The fear of your heart turning to stone
The fear of accomplishment
The fear of punishment
The fear of good fortune
The fear of all out torture
The fear of anything new
The fear of becoming blue
Never let fear control you to
