Fear

I run away from Fear.
Like Fear itself is the predator.
I cannot face Fear
The eyes of Fear will tear me apart.
They will take away all my joy, all my love.
They leech away my will to live.
So I run.
But Fear surrounds me.
Evey where I turn.
Like a bird in a cage, I am trapped.
Because Fear is inside me.
I cannot escape.
