I wrote this as a series of little sentences about Bruce, in his POV. Few lines rhyme, but on accident. I had been thinking about some of his feelings and figured I'd try to put it into words.
Please RnR.

Fear Grips Me
I was once too afraid to move on,
My parents were dead and gone.
Time does not heal all hearts,
Because mine still aches everyday for them.
I wish I was happier than I am,
My life has changed so much since then.
I have grown up and become a man,
But a part of my still yearns for more.
I am still afraid of living my life alone.
I cannot survive by myself.
I must grow strong to be better.
A better person. A better man.
I have learned to overcome my fear.
But it still grips me everynight.
Nothing can stop it.
I am scared everyday.
Every night that I spend alone.
I think of what could have been,
And fear grips my heart again.
Fear becomes my strength.
Strength becomes my will.
Will becomes me...
I am frightened of my fear.
But I guess there is a good reason for that too.
