Fear

There is a fear so deep inside.
For so long I have denied.
Almost lost but never gone.
To be stripped of faith.
To be rapped of love.
To be so blind as not to see.
In my pride I turn face to face.
I see this is a fear of me.
A fear of faith. A fear of love.
A fear to see all to see.
For so long I have misunderstood.
A fear misplaced in side of me.
Now I see now I know.
Will I be the one set free?
Of this fear in side

Trapped

A want so strong he shies away. 
A love so deep he dares not weep. 
A dagger felt in his high. 
A mist that blinds the untrained eye. 
A reach the falls just sort of clouds. 
A doubt that take by surprise. 
A hunger far stronger still, to stand and fight upon this hill. 
And yet for now he must stand still.

Hidden

People live and people die. 
People even get high.
Some co mite suicide. 
All they want is to hide.
Fear is deep. Love is strong.
Pain is life. When we say bye.
We all must choose the path we take.
But fear we shall make a mistake.
Do not worry for he is all.
He shall guide every step we take.
Do not fake a selfish grin.
For a mask is a mistake.
And life is the risk we take
