Minute #3: This Fear of Mine

36 1 1
                                    

This fear of mine does not compare

To lack of air,

A street at night,

Nor sudden frights

It is a doubt that's whispered low

All lies, I know,

But still I feel

That it is real

It has made sure to silence me,

So though I see

Life passing by

I cannot cry
