Why Fear



In the realm of victory,
We suddenly start to worry,but why
Is it because i never needed to worry
Or,maybe because the tracks left in me
May never leave

Or maybe because of that pain
That never ends
Always clinging onto me
As if we were born as one

With this non-stop feeling
Why is it always on me
Tired of this unrepelling predator
That keeps hurting me
And fearing me up inside

I guess the old tune
will keep on playing
I listened and danced to this melody
The rhythm still keeps my heart pounding
Pounding as if it was going to burst
Out of my supposedly hollow chest

I found it hard to take the hits
I kept struggling with these fears
That drags me down below
Is it okay if i sink
I asked myself

It suddenly struck me out of nowhere
Like lightning
I never wanted this for myself
Fear is not an option
I cried in agony
Why fear,
The melody that cradles me to bed.
