FEAR

In shadows thick, danger’s a drunken beast,
stumbling through alleys, its fury released.
A foul, tainted breath of dread fills the air,
blocking the path with sinister glare.

It vomits chaos, a toxic spill,
menace relentless, never still,
turning sanctuary into a cage,
a child’s heartbeat, trembling with rage.

Loud, ranting, leering in the night,
daring your soul to take flight.
A stare that pierces, a challenge plain,
a taunt of terror, a haunting refrain.

Come dawn, it’s unrepentant, bold,
a mirror’s reflection, cold and old.
It forgets, it denies, it pretends,
but danger’s face is yours, my friend.

Stand firm, face the darkness, no retreat,
in confronting the beast, find your defeat.
Not in surrender, but in the fight,
reclaim your soul from the shadows’ blight.

FEAR meaning Face Everything and Recover
