Fear

They say that fear is something you’re scared of
And yet nobody knows mine
It’s a very common kind of fear
It’s a fear to do with the mind

I am scared of the darkness
And what might lurk inside
I don’t let most people know
I feel I lose my pride

This fear isn’t just of darkness
It has a second part
When my body’s surrounded by the darkness
I start to break apart

The shivers inside, The scream for help
The treacherous images in my head
I open my eyes and see the light
That’s when my fear of darkness is dead
