REMEMBERING FEAR
I remember fearing death and losing a loved one
 I remember the feeling of fear when I smelled the sweet putrid aroma of death
 Scared and cautious, living as I must
 But fear has left me and is no longer a faithful friend
 That was the end
 Of my life as a coward and loser
 Though I miss my friend I will never forget
 That it was I who killed
 And he who died
 I feel that fear should never have lied
 Taken control of me with mental might
 I was in his sights
 From the very beginning
 Though loving life I feared death
 I killed fear
 My faithful friend
 I created his end
 Hence over coming fear by killing fear
 Thinking about it I would do it again
 Also I would have to think of how old I had been
 Would water and wind watch me wearily
 From fire’s flame forgetting friends
 Seeing Spirit’s sunlight shadows dance
 Within my state of insanity
 Worlds unturned
 And unburned
 Are better than home
 Alone
 I dream of a day when I can say
 I walk with my friend
 I walk with fear again
