Fear by Fabiola Sully
Fear
I know your weaknesses.
I know your doubts.
I know when you're feeling down.
And your pessimistic thoughts.
I have crippled your thought process.
I have made you sulk.
I even broke you down,
Worrying about your insecurities.
I have kept misery within your grasp.
Knowing you're searching for true happiness.
I’ve kept you away from the unknown.
And all the inexperienced.
I’ve even kept you away from love.
Knowing you won’t know how to handle it.
Why deal with something you can’t control.
When you can’t step to the challenges.
You’ve tried to get rid of me.
Yeah, I know you fought back.
But I’ve kept striking.
Once your defenses were down.
Eating your confidence and well-being.
I know one day you will find the courage.
To put me out of my misery,
But when you have those feelings.
Of nervousness, tightness, and heat flashes,
I'll be there.
You know my name.
