Fears, my fears
Whisper in my ears
They always try
To steal my cheers...

They play hide and seek
With me in lonely nights
They come one after another
Trying to give me fights...

Fear of unknown
Plays pranks since childhood
Comes with a menacing figure
With burning eyes under the hood...

Fear of failure
Always try to stowaway
With my dreams and hope
Hoping to block their way

One of the fears
Dabs black colour
On the horizon of future
Always trying to make it bleaker

I love to play with my fears
I sing aloud when they whisper
I have learnt to run faster
Never let them steal my cheer….
