your afraid when your scared
and I'm scared when your afraid
I can't breath
chills creep up my spine
running along the nerve endings
pinching my insecurities
and secrets bursting fourth
from my pores
is your fear
becoming mine
my fear
becoming yours
our eyes dilate
my breath catches
breathing but not respiring
help us we scream and shout
as our terror grips us
through the night
and wakes us
up in a cold sweat
breath the air of life
the air that thaws our strife
our maladies our death
the air that wakes me up
that wakes us up
please please end
this cycle
of fear
because
when we are
together
we become one
we become us
we become the fear
that creeps up
on the children
without parents
we throttle
the homeless men
in the street
we are the fear
we are the anger
we are the terror
that grips your heart
we are apart of you
