Analysis of Fear
Mayu McDonald 2010 (Arizona)
Fear is a funny thing
It like jumping when you know you have wings
But you can’t spread them out, your frozen in fear
But to tell you about it that’s why I am here
To be afraid is not something strange
And fears have a long range
Some might frown
For a clown
But fear is here and it’s a funny thing
