Heart pounding faster
Or skipping a beat
Forcing to retreat
Overcoming it a feat

Willing to forego
Defaulted rent to be paid
An uninvited guest
Manipulating the rest

Threat of imminent
Pain and danger
Lurking in the corner
State of emotion called fear

A paralysing state
Leaves a bad taste
Driving force behind
Decision making alligned

Alarm called anxiety
State of dismay and worry
Fret stress and distress
Mind paralysed with no hope in sight

Born with Scare
Foundation of values
Defined by the terror
Fear the river that runs through personality and character

Real or unreal
Does not matter
Ability to tell the difference
Now a tall order

Cowardice the capital
Of the state of fear
Inability to pursue
Timidity the injury to endure

Fear tests my strength
Cripples me trying to attempt
Breaking my spirit from within
Creating illusions from nothing

People and issues
Alone and the dark
A frenzied mob
Fear for the sake of fear

Mistakes made add up
Pushes down to the nadir
Ray of hope under the veil
Searching for the veil life's only deal

Guilt and lies
Feed the fear like Nuclear
Making it tougher
Than it already is

Dreams and desires
Lay by the wayside
Inability to conquer
Plunging into depths deeper

Mind bending substances
Drinking and drugs for example
Feeds the terror hungry for more
Sanity hanging in balance knocking on psychosis

Not a psychiatric condition
Just plain old world state of mind
Shadow to the coward
Freezed at every turn statues built in remembrance
