Act On Pluses Not Guesses


Fear can cause rapid beating,

But to give up trying

And end up screaming.

It will all be consuming.

 

I cover my ears and run.

Begging for help from anyone.

I shiver and try to hide

Because no one is by my side.

 

Do you feel it?

Even just a bit.

Falling in this endless pit.

Ready at any moment to submit.

 

Luckly, the time is near

To fight this growing fear.

Roll the dice

And don’t think twice.
