Know Fear

I'm scared
There's something in my closet,
it's under my bed.
Wait,..maybe it's my heart, maybe
it's in my head.

I'm scared.

Maybe it's down the hall, it's
down the street.
The thing that haunts me I'm
bound to meet.
What have I done, what have I willed
It almost feels like my future
 is killed.

I'm scared.

I once read, somewhere in a book
"Perfect love cast out all fear"
So if I don't flinch and I don't hate
there will come a needed change
that my hand can not create.

Know fear.
