FEAR
Fear like a prison
Feel like a prisoner
Free like a human being
Run like a fugitive
Hide like an animal
Breathe like I'm breathless
Die like I’m living large
Live with a deathwish
Selfless or selfish both
No health benefits so
No one benefits
At least where I live
That’s the reality
Life’s a fact
So for buyers remorse
Cant take your life back
Slow yet steady pace
Words make heavy face
And hearts much heavier
Can’t cry now I was born with barriers
And if the floodgates fail
Its like imam fail too
Breakdown and die
Or work as someone’s tool
Cause life’s no fool
Some say she’s a bitch
She never gave me nothing
But the taught a man to fish
The lessons she learned me
Moved smooth yet deadly
Yearned for her loving
But my mind wasn’t ready
So she nourished me
Fed me, gave me that food
I'm just glad she didn’t feed me
With that heroin spoon
Cause I know some she has
Some who have
Some who don’t
But I can’t be mad
Cause I’m living, loving
Leaving fear behind
Far behind
I just hope it’s in time
