Fear
What do I fear

I have a fear of height
but deep down its nothing
I would love to just take flight
but that's just a dream of something

I have a fear of spiders
creep me out far beyond my heartbeat
these fears are nothing just minors
my true fear lies deep, I can't defeat

I'm so afraid that I will just wake
from my visual reality
the life I have to just disappear, heartbreak
that it could be just a dreaming insanity

to lose all I have, experiences and all
would destroy me as deep as the core
finding out that my head created this wall
nothing I have done means anything, thrown out the door

my fear is to lose all that I love
all that I've experienced, aches and pains.
I don't want to lose anything, I don't want to leave
I love every last one of these stains

my soul is imprinted
my heart is engraved
my eyes can't be tinted
my being never enslaved

If I'm just dreaming
I'll shall never awake
this is a reality worth sleeping
I will not make the mistake

this is my biggest fear
unable to forever stay here.
Is our reality just a dream? Is this just insanity.
