i don't make you scream
I am fear
My very presence embodies it
I don't have to make a ghostly voice, or tap the window pains
I don't need to try
I stir up your darkest memories, your frightening thoughts
all you what ifs and anxieties
they call me dark, or evil
I'm not-really
tell me, is fear evil?
True it weakens you and hurts you
but love can do the same
hope can do the same
I guess humans like to see things in black and white
if its hurts them, it is wrong,
it is evil
no
I'm not anything
except your fear
that you're afraid to face
