Fear of the dark
Found my self standing in the middle of a dark unknown place
The waves charged the trees
Heard a sound like a voice from the tree
Yet no one was there
Fear knocks me down
I swim yet drown in fear

The confidence I thought I had
That I thought was within my grasp
Was totally lost
How do I deal with what I lost
Fear consumes me as the sound came louder
Everywhere was still and the birds are in there nets
I was standing but dead inside of me
The closer I get to the charged tree
The fainter the sound and the voice
Fear crippled my body and soul
As I wait for the end of the story

No one to call oh!! No one to help either
My legs were never stable
They were shaking like a kid that was learning how to walk
The life I thought I had
The life I thought was amazing
The life I thought was complete
All turned to be ash falling away
And leaving me cold and lonely
I cannot shout my mouth were shot by fear
I cannot move my legs were shaking
Fear consumes me
Hoping to see the day but yet wondering in the dark
Waiting for the owner of life to spare or take the life I was given
