Fear

Imprisoned and sheathed in complete blackness

With closed eyes,

blocking everything in the surrounding,

waiting for that final fall

But it doesn't come--

You're trying hard to hold on to it

Yet knowing that

behind closed eyelids

There's a kaleidoscope world waiting to welcome you

But the fear controls you

Because somehow you know that

happiness comes with sadness

Like

black and white

rain and sunshine

Heaven and hell

Love and hate

Everything is relative

Then you realized you

have landed --

the land of your life

Your heart still pumps

Though broken

It still works

And you're left with the decision

To just open your eyes

and dive into the colors of life

And just wait--

For the blackness to fall again.
