Fear : A Poem

I kept my voice low
I kept my mind hidden
Fearing it may turn your head

I walked with secrets
My voice turned to whispers
Not sure when you will glare with dread

My heart no longer tender
My pace no longer sure
Strong windows shaking in terror

My terror turned to fear
As truth turned to stones
And lies made men disappear

Fearing for my life
Fearing for my world
Fearing everything will
change when I open my eyes

Fearing this won’t end
Fearing I will live without a mend
Fear is a thing you never can end
