Fear Beneath Fear


Loneliness, a disease-a true fear.

Ever been left to die? Heart racing...

Passed out on the bed, no thoughts?

Imagine the fear of being alone.

It's an everlasting black hole,

Pills and alcohol are what you resort to,

We are all only human.

We desire company, so why leave?

Why would you leave me to die!

The fear running through my veins;

Hallucinations, yet you laugh at me!

At my loneliness of hours..

I despise this, I hate it.

Pills and alcohol corrupted my soul,

They ruined me, but then

Then I found a new light,

Now I am not lonely...

I am not alone.

You have healed me.

Allowed my heart to beat;

My loneliness to dissipate-

You have healed my greatest fear.
