Fears

Whispers fill my ears

As I shut down my mind

Haunted by my own self

I wish to suffice

The expectations laid by society

But failing miserably I hide

Not from the cruel world

But from this beating heart inside.

My fears bind me

To this eerie

Drowning me

Deep into the sea of despair

Throbbing are the demons

In this weak vessel of a body

I meekly say to myself

I can do it

The worst happening

Would be me dying instead.
