Fear

Some wear fear as horror
Seeping into every pore
Of every scary moment
Panic surging at will
Filling with a terrible chill
The hopes of skill’s will

Others manage to defray
The terrible blow of fear’s naysay
By cementing fear’s afflictions
Into hope’s expected prediction’s
Surrendering life to suspicion’s afflictions

Permanent vigilance banishes peace
Danger is everywhere rampantly astray
Defensive dominates anticipation
Only mistrust is trusted to say
