"Fear"

Rolling throughout life

Like a tumbleweed in the wind
We see many changes
Many beginnings and many ends

How bland it sometimes seems

How black and cold
Life falls into many categories
Be you young or be you old

The dark times feel so frigid

So solitary and sad
Why do these visions come like they do
Tempting your sanity; trying to make you mad

These are the down-sides of life

The ones that make you cringe and hide
Falling back into your shadowed mind
Finding a light for warmth and pride

The place where you go

The moment that you conceal
Holds a familiar harbor
For your soul and makes it real

Time to hit the shadows

Time to hide your face
Time to fear the sunshine
Time to be in disgrace
