SCARED
Doesn’t anyone know what it’s like…..

Doesn’t anyone know what it’s like to be so scared

Scared of my own shadow
That follows me around,
Scared of noises in my head,
Realistic, daunting sounds.

The unforgiving terror
Runs through my veins at times,
I’m scared it might just catch me
And invade my inner mind.

Sweat slides down my forehead
In the blackness of the night,
A statue in my jamies
Afraid of everlasting light.

And to look around and see
The footsteps I create,
Is grounds for sole insanity
But it’s a world I can’t escape.

Of my mind I am a prisoner
Trapped in the dungeons core,
I wish I had the courage
To just open up the door.

And to think I may have failed myself,
Because I never gave a chance
To the strength inside me
Which didn’t get a glance.

So I feel as if I’ve waisted
The best of all my youth
Worried of the consequence
If self trust was put to use.
