That deep sadness in the pit of your stomach
The constant reminder of what could beThe plague of what if
The questions in your mind as you try to sleep
The photo album you look through
The childhood memoryIt never really goes away
It halters happiness in its tracks
It grips you tight and holds you back
It reflects all of your pain and agonyAs opportunities pass on by
Fear and it are brothers from your mindIt calls out from the depths of your soul
It'll always be there lurking hungrilyIn the shadows of your mind
Always brings discontent along for the ride
