Fear by Razel DaviesDont turn your back on fear,
The man said.
While I stared,
And scratched my head.
Dont turn your back on fear,
He told me.
I dont understand,
What does it mean?
Fires and pains,
Through the night.
I dont want to feel,
I dont like fright.
Why the darkness?
Why the fear?
Dont turn your back on fear.
The man said.
But with fear,
I cannot stand to live.
What can I do?
What can I be?
I dont want,
To fear me. 10/19/2006
Author's Note: Inspired by a song by the 69 Eyes
