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.
