Casting Fears From Humanity


A cold, whimsical breath, sweeps across my being

This bitter wind feels harsh, and harbors a darker purpose I'm not seeing

This foreign curse that I'm experiencing is freezing myself in place

I can't move an inch of my body, not even twitch a muscle on my face

My motor skills are deteriorating, and vanishing with each chilling wave

This useless body shows an eerie similarity to one in a grave

Fear, so captivating, that it traps you like an ice cage, unable to make a sound

I am truly lost in this abyss, no where to be found

But fear is surmountable, your strong will makes it faster

To finally overcome this tyrant feeling, and become its master

Without the shackles of fear, I can fly at last

For being afraid is just an insignificant part of my past
