~ The Five Fears ~
So many emotions coming to the surface I've tried to ignore
I have no idea which one to conquer before I explode
One, that over powers the rest, it won't let me sleep
Pondering over it, no answers do I seek
The Second stares at me in the face, one I don't want to seriously
It fills me with too much anxiety
The Third makes me sick to my stomach, all I can do is run from it
I'm so careful not to plummet
The Fourth keeps me down, it's to hard to bring up,
this one is too evil, and I can't face the upheaval
The Fifth and final is my mother's mumble
telling me to, "deal with my troubles"
Little does she know, the "Second One," is really about her
