how long must i live
in a world dominated by fear
until someone;
or something comes to save me?
will i ever truly know a life
without fear?
this fear is killing me!
how much more can i really endure;
until it completely consumes me?
i fear for that day
I've tried to combat this fear;
but when i do;
i always lose.
on the outside i may seem
happy and content with life,
but on the inside-
I'm still only a child;
a child with shattered hopes and dreams.

can life really be as bad as this seems?
or is this just a nightmare
from which i cannot wake?
only time can tell for sure...
