Fear

By Silver Snape Silk

You stand alone in a circle of night

Shutting others out

Feeling alone

Fearful

Of the pain that people bring

You hide yourself

In a cloak of self-hatred

Loathing and anger

Pushing away those who would help

Ease the loneliness

The fear

Of confronting your demons

You feel unworthy

Of love and happiness

So you push it away as foolishness

But who now is the fool?

The one who rejects

What he doesn't feel worthy of

The one who fears
