Fear of Fear

Fear of the unknown
Drives a constant drum beat
It stops my heart from beating
It's like concrete on my feet
Fear of the known
Seems to be no better at all
It haunts my dreams at night
And I feel like at any moment I'll fall
Fear of fear lingers on
Like a haunting tune of days past
Or a mist across a cold dead moon
Like clinging to a dream that cannot last
The fear is there, it's there
Inside my head, inside my soul
A darkness that I have always known
Like a blackness that makes me whole
The fear was never wanted
Not desired nor chased
But there it always was
It is the fear I have faced
