Fear used to harm me
Like a dark shadow I’d run
Eyes closed trying not to see
It followed me to the darkest corners
Until I would scream
And then one day fear caught up
And grabbed my heart
And stopped my mind
And I fell beneath the shadow of him
And all I was afraid of- saw me
All sense of time and control gone
I saw fear… behind his mask
And saw that nothing was there,
but the face of me
