The Time of Fear

What can you do when you find yourself trapped, trapped inside yourself? What can you do when around you there’s no longer anyone else? What can you do when your greatest fear becomes the fear of fear of fear itself? What can you do when you can’t even cry for help? What can you do when your strength is gone and with it gone your hope? What can you do when you see a man hanging from a rope? All you can do in this moment is close your eyes and pray. Take a deep breath and wish that tomorrow will be a better day.
