Fear

Fear trickles down my spine

I know how it’s going to be

Life goes on and on

And I am still left at the same spot

Fear envelopes my mind and face

But no signs of tear

I subdue myself with distractions and care

Caring for you and others brings me out

Out of my body, out of my life

But when the time stands alone with me

I am left to look at it

It cripples my mind with sadness

I’ll never be rid of this feeling of emptiness
