FEAR

You can't always live in fear... can you?
Even the feared can taste despair,
For power built on silent screams
Trembles before the light of hope.

They rule with shadows and iron hands,
Yet feel the dread of shifting sands.
Those who rise must face the truth:
The higher you climb, the harder the fall.

Fear is not just what they command.
It clings to them, a constant weight.
A life of strength can feel so fragile,
For even the feared can fear what's real.

You can't always live in fear... can you?
Even royals of darkness tremble, too.
