Questioning the Fear
The fear that's inside us
Can blind us
That's what they all say
But you don't really believe it
Until you've seen
With your own eyes
A person broken, bruised
And on the ground
Battered and bloodied
Inside and out
For what?
Because they're different
And different is bad
Right?
That's what the fear says
And fear is always right
They say
Fear controls us
They say
If you fear something
They say
Destroy it
They say
But must it be that way?
No.
No, because guess what
We all have fear
Regardless of what color
We've been painted
We're all stained on the inside
With a shade of insecurity
Discomfort
Anxiety
And if we all have fear
Aren't we all
Actually the same?
And you know that saying,
There's strength in numbers?
Yeah, it's true.
Cheesy, but true,
Because when we all realize
That we all have fear
We can come together
Dispel those fears
And live harmoniously
Right?
Right.
