Fear Is...

 

 

Fear is loneliness, I’ve had my taste.

Fear is isolation, a life goes to waste.

Fear is rejection, I’ve had my fill.

Fear is knowing, time has stood still.

 

Fear is in denial, a lost cause to chase.

Fear is in a mirror, I see it in my face.

Fear is dreaming, when false hope grows.

Fear is waking up to the same old woes.

 

Fear is an empty house, each room bare.

Fear is hearing voices, with nobody there.

Fear is in life…but also in death too.

Fear is in every day, I face without you.

Thanks Mike.
I've had good fortune, too easy to take it for granted.
