The Fear

A Poem by Daniel Fourie

Living life in the confines of fear.

When will it end?

This fear is driving me to the darkest depths of my mind
It feels so real, like I might just become the things I loathe

I walk around in circles, constantly trying to not stumble
I'm sitting here with God on my side
while the world keeps spinning
Will I never be heard by my fellow man?

Anxious to the point of distraught
Lock me up, put me in a cage
Insanity is what is ruling

Lord please
Make me full, for I cannot live life in the confines of fear any longer

So I ask you once more
When will it end?
