Fear Within ME
I wanted to scream the truth
But afraid to flee from you
Yet, you were my confidant
My only friend
In the shadows of my mistakes
I found your radiance and forgiveness
You were the one who comforted me
Then the walls came crashing down
I am still anxious
That in the shadows, you still lurk
Awaiting to harm me
While the moon is my silent protector
The fear within me (a constant reminder)
Of the past regrets, the mistakes I have made
A spark erupts within me
While I unleash a flood of trepidation
Constantly watching my back
Walking faster, my heart racing
Although still in the light of day,
My darkest hour of affliction has come
Some how I got into this mess
In this pit, I am forever a prisoner to
No matter how hard I claw
I can’t escape this dilemma
Finding comfort in my sweet closet
My only sanctuary from this world
While the fears still consume me
I find my strength
I am no longer afraid
I am ready to take up my responsibility
Taking the fall, protecting my blood
Finally fearless, while my defenses
Come crashing down
