Fear and Courage
There is a poison that lurks in ones mind and soul
Like a disease it spreads through veins bringing nothing but doom
You'll never feel safe not even in your own room
Brightness will become dark and your palms will be starting to sweat
All you can do is pray to god to give you courage
But once fear has set in not even that will help you
Fear is a poison that will eat you alive
Fear is a poison that starts on the inside
Soon you will become weak and your heart will pound
Soon you be looking up cause fear has put you underground
Fear is a work of the devil
And courage is the work of god
Knowing when to be courageous is all up to you
Fear is a dark and evil disease that will hold you back
Fear will turn people you loved into enemies
Fear will cut you down like a rotten tree
Fear is a poison leaving us to ask for redemption
Fear is a disease leaving us to ask for a remedy
Fear is a villain in which we cannot just close our eyes
Fear is in all of us, waiting to spread like cancer
Fear will always be lurking all around
And courage will be waiting for one it crown

"The Reaper Does Wait"
My Life thus far is All but Brief,
So Many Years, and Endless Grief,
The Souls that I've Condemned to
The ultimate way
To manipulate people
Is through fear....
And well planned
Created chaos...........
Wor ks on individuals
Works
Rhythm of Fear
My heart has learned the rhythm of fear
The white hot arc that dances beneath
The numbing pain of loss
Laid
Strength of Fear
We are those who
desire servitude
mending of maladies
easing the pain
feeling vicariously
Viewing through windows
while
