I let my fears take over me.
I let them pull me down into an inescapable hole.
Fear rules my life.
Fear that I’ll never be good enough,
Or make it out in this world,
Or that none of my dreams will come true.
Fears that I’ll be taken by death,
Or that I won’t know the answer.
And I’ll spend eternity punished.
Fear rules my life.
I let the panic sink in.
I let it make my body shake uncontrollably.
Panic rules my life.
Panic for the end,
Or my body burned to ash and sand,
Or withering away into nothing.
Panic for the pain,
Or the unavoidable bruising,
And the bloody scarring.
Panic rules my life.
