fear.
envelopes me like a nightmare.
i can feel its talons.
raking my skin.
caressing.
all the scars.
fear you unwelcome old foe.
back from the dead.
i risked your uprising.
with the sunshine in my soul.
when i laughed just a little too loudly.
i woke you.
for you to cut me.
with the truth.
of all that walks.
with me.
inside me.
that the people might see.
that they might know me.
and from my mouth.
i give a little cry.
