Here comes the fear – let it go!
The thoughts that make me sweat at night
The images of what could be waiting for me
The future I could never possibly see

Moving too fast – there must be control
To stop the thoughts I obsess
They never help – just disturb even more
I must be strong, and close the door

Keeping the hurt all to one’s self
Does nothing for the state of mind
Take each day as it comes, keep your chin up
Face what comes and fight for life.

I need guidance, a helping hand,
To show me what lies beneath
To help me move on from this place
And finally be at peace.
