FEAR

Fear isn’t stupid,
Fear isn’t bad,
Fear shouldn’t be mocked,
Fear’s a natural thing to have.

Everybody has fear,
It’s not to that unique,
Everybody with fear,
Should be allowed to speak.

I know you have fear,
I see it in your eyes,
There’s no way to hide it,
No matter how hard you try.

You know you’re scared of fear,
Yet you mock those who openly are,
You can’t say you’re any better,
Than those you call bizarre.

Fear isn’t just for nobodys,
Fear is for you,
But fear can be overcome,
This you know is true.

Fear shouldn’t control your life,
Fear doesn’t make you bad,
Fear just makes you normal,
If you don’t think it’s natural; That’s just sad.
