fear is such a bully
who thrives
on keeping one locked up
silent
doubting
wondering
what should’ve been done
what could’ve been done
how you’ve failed
but it’s only an illusion
fear threatens
and suffocates
and ages one
without them knowing
fear has a tall shadow
but a tiny image
it can look like light
and sound like sanity
it wears its costume
well
but when exposed
it disintegrates
into nothingness
what you go through
in those moments of despair
is a hopeless state of mind
drowning in fears
treading water
just to breathe
as you see the straws
float by
not realizing
that every tear
has a story
and every story
causes the water
to rise
but maybe in sinking
you’ll swim
how does darkness
make death
so appealing
a young girl cutting
a woman aborting
a man escaping
reality
there’s a veil
set in place
with a vision
of paradise
that’s decorated
until chains
set in place
locked in silence
held in isolation
surrounded in love
but on an island
not being able
to swim
to safety
stranded
in the dark
but surrounded
by Light
having to choose
to be free
having regret
looming
to take hold
so many
make the choice
to regret
so many
make the choice
to be freedom
be available
to listen
be coming
in love
be willing
to sacrifice
your opinion
darkness
is an illusion
that’s stepped into
help someone
step into
the Light
