Stalker
Fear is stalking me,
he’s there, behind the bushes,
hush! hear him walk,
he’s here, tearing me to pieces.
Fear teases me with things
and sings a sweet song of surrender,
but it won’t be long before he takes
all the stakes I’ve put up.
Yes, here, he set upon me,
collecting the debt I owe,
leaving me low, unconscious
of the atrocious situation at hand.
Now I understand, that Fear is
not without his bounds,
and I have found the ropes
that confine him to my coping ability.
