Why is Fear Found in Our Hands


There are only

two types of fear

When the outcome is beneficial

and when the outcome is detrimental.

can't hear my own thoughts

can't feel my own hands

How come it's when we have control 

I could lie

but the only time to be afraid

is when it pulls you close, 

pleasure that doesn't make sense,

it threatens to choke your light
