it's the one thing we share
skin hair soul all different
but not fear
it controls us
like a virus
drives us
like a master
it concurs us
like an enemy
we pretend it's not there
push it to the far reaches of our minds
but it creeps
and it pounces
it makes us unable
and defenceless
it's the one thing we wished never existed
it's the one thing we couldn't live without
fear for our loved ones makes us
companionate
fear of being alone makes us
welcome
fear of loss makes us
kind
all good things come from fear
were used to it
so it has become the center of our beings
without us fear is nothing
without fear we are nothing
