My Fear of Fear

I have a fear of fear

Cause it takes everything dear

To me

You see

I'm afraid to talk

On this fear walk

Cause all you people

Who can't look at a church steeple

Use

    Accuse 

        Bruise

   Abuse

      Take 
Awake

Innocent folk

Cause their life's a joke

Something to throw away

Delay

Push down

Place on you the crown

To place you among the kings

Giving you wings

To soar above the rest 

Who gave everything at your request

This I used to think

From stuff in ink

That you'd do anything to rise

But I was taken by surprise

When one day

I didn't want to stay

Someone reached out

And asked about

My story

Even though there was no glory

They cared

Shared

      Taught 

          Fought

         Defended

    Reprimanded

Me 

Cause I'm ME

I fell in love

Something I'd only dreamt of

I fell in love all over again

And again

    And again

        And again

            And again

                  And again

I finally knew what it felt like to be human

And I felt like a new man

Being human was to feel

Something real

An emotion

I used to think was a silly notion

    But the tears

And the fears

 The smiles

      The miles

Traveled

      Unraveled

Until we find Love

That fits like a glove

Anger

      Danger

Joy

  Coy

This thumping in my chest

Is the test

To tell if I'm alive

But these feelings I need to thrive

To make me a person

Not a burden

So let me feel

To seal the deal

To make

   me 

         HUMAN
