I’m scared and I can hardly move I’m way too frightened Fear follows us , stalks us and controls us It’s all I think A heart pounding exaltation into realms of the unknown Paralyzing dilemmas of insufferable images portrayed as our own Strong but weak Happy but sad Sometimes feeling hopeful Scared a mad uncertain I’m way too frightened Not the people but the mind Not the answer but the question Have you ever watched a deer caught in the headlights look fleeing through his eyes ? Or a rabbit when it knows it has been seen ? When they stop working the instant and hopes to disappear ? Suspended from the ability to think Overwhelmed and over stressed Traumatized and shocked in disbelief You watch their spirits shrivel up and die ? And all you could think of was I’m giving up My voice My story My sorrows and my pains
