Canvas of fear
Your fear is real,
You aren't daydreaming,
It's a reality you breathe,
Ever since you know life,
All you understand is fear.
It'll keep coming back to you,
Haunting you day and night,
In every new face you meet,
Every hello of a stranger you hear,
Nothing but fear will generate.
With the one you love intensely,
Your trust is coloured with colours of fear,
No matter how much you try,
You can't delete it permanently,
It's a part of the canvas made by your family.
You always seem to be happy,
Till none know your reality,
The familiarity relationship breeds,
More fear it instills in your very being,
Giving you sleeplessness eternally.
Even if fear goes,
It's only momentarily,
Those near have stories for you,
That kicks back the fearful intensity,
Keeping you as a captive, never liberating.
Don't try to rid yourself of fear,
It's ingrained within your very system,
The more you try scratching it off,
The more wounds you will inflict within,
Now all you can do is, happily live with it.
