fear of hatred, fear of love
fear of anything worth being afraid of.
darkness, light.warmth and cold.
but fear to me is being able to hold
the conflict between myself and i
and not giving up ; but preparing to die.
i lie awake and contemplate,
life on this world, all of the hate.
trying to hold on is trying to let go
but in which direction am i entitled to go.
do i stay here and misery everyones lives
with emotions that cut as deep as knives.
the road to enchantment seems easy to take
but once you step on it, its likely to break.
just like your dreams that have shattered away
as the fear you cherish forces you to stray
towards the darkness, far from the light
which guides you through the rest of your life.
once you've taken the path you chose
thers no way back, you win or you lose.
in my case ive lost, no dignity remains
unless you help untangle me free of the chains
which are pulling me down and never seem to stop
until im near the edge, waiting to drop.
as ive lost all hope, i dont feel the need
to stay any longer ; ive completed no deed.
fear of hatred, fear of love.
fear of anything worth being afraid of.
scared of listening to advice from you,
but more importantly, fear of myself
and what i could do.

aptly written
fear indeed...
but the fear of self? now that's a universe
in and of itself

much to ponder on for him
