Fear

Life is given

Not by chance

Its not a death sentence

But a sweet lovely dance

Yet I feel such sorrow

As I look around

I see what I want

But I’m chained to the ground.

Fear has its hand around my throat

With each squeeze I can feel

My true self erode

I know it’s me

Who can make the change

To let go of the fear

That has kept me chained

Give me the strength

Show me the way

Because I’m so very tired

of living this way.
