Fear

Afraid to step out
    To start, to finish
Scared to speak out
    My desires to relish
Fearing to fall down
    Whether fallen or standing tall
Dread to face a frown
    From one and from all
Afraid of being afraid
    Of being unsure and frail

Fear grips me
    Fear tears me
        Fear chains me
            Fear drains me
Fear is all I know
    Fear is all I fear
        Fear is my greatest foe
            Fear is all that's near

Afraid I'll lose, Afraid I'll fail
Afraid I'll be unheard, everytime I hail
Afraid of love, Afraid of hate
Afraid of opening my heart to fate
Afraid of light, Afraid of dark
Afraid of hope that lights a spark
Afraid of dreams, Afraid of pictures
Afraid how they shatter into a million pieces

Fear is all I know
    Fear is all I fear
        Fear is my greatest foe
            Yet fear is all that's near
