Fear

Fear causes paralysis Emotions are all numbed Thoughts go may blank As one becomes deaf and dumb. Fear closes our eyes To glaring truth that stares Accepting all the lies In silence, without care. Fear locks our doors To the beauty of life and choices We lose sight of what we live for Surrendered to muted voices. Fear is a daily death Like walls in a coffin sealed An existence in useless breath A vessel that can never be filled. Hurts are kept locked up No sound, just feeling empty We can't even say 'That's enough! ' There's no sense of what's to be free.
