Fear Must Die!

An empty yet tightly crammed head 

In a cold world, too hot a head

Dark visions creeping into mind

Imagining and conceiving the worst

Contriving , anticipating deathly terror

Eliminating and extinguishing all hope

A hard dissolving helpless heart

Evaporating out of your grasp

A cruel runaway beat rate 

A  heart sinking deep down

Retreating, recoiling too early 

Surrendering much needed power 

In a corner poor lungs huddle

Held hostage by threatening fear

Laboriously trudge about with the air

In the face of a mocking smug fear

Squeezing and chocking in self bondage

Made helpless to face the danger

Solid yet melting, crumpling bones

Wobbly and weak unhelpful joints 

A body chilled and deeply shaken 

From deep inside the core

In fright, defenseless and prone 

Useless to face the real trouble

Preempting defeat is fear's role

In the corner of the mind at work

Deep in the heart buried and scheming

A distraction from real battle at hand

An ally of the real danger at hand

A coup by the treasonous self
