Fear Itself.

What people fear really says a lot.
True fears I mean.
Maybe your afraid to feel because no one ever told you, "it's okay, I'm here."
Maybe your afraid to love because every time you tried they threw your heart into the bottom of the trash.
Maybe your afraid to open up because the last time you did they made you the centerpiece to their joke.
You fear the walls you have caged yourself in but have no strength to open the doors.
The key has been laying on the table this whole time.
Every time someone knocks you go to look.
You open the window to say, don't be afraid, like there is something to fear.
You are the only one afraid.
You are the prisoner to your own kingdom.
If anyone you should be afraid it should be your demons because you're coming for them and you won't give up this fight.
