A slave to destiny
Unable to stop the inevitable
Circumstances consume my energy
Fear, my only companion
Life, an uncontrollable instrument
The body does what it wants
…the realization of hopelessness taunts
Fear of the unknown presents itself
Heart pumping against the chest
the bondage of the emotions besets
Phobia about where it will lead
Complicates the feed
An escape route is desperately sought
Away from that monster of dread
A desire for peace and tranquility
In an atmosphere of frightened reality
Shyness about decisions
An oasis envisioned
…a place of forgotten timidities
Where fear stands outside its boundaries
