My Fears

Fears, my fears

Whisper in my ears

They always try

To steal my cheers.

 

They play hide and seek

With me in lonely nights

They come one after another

Trying to give me frights.

 

Fear of unknown

Plays pranks since childhood

Comes with a menacing figure

With burning eyes under the hood.

 

Fear of failure

Always try to stowaway

With my dreams and hope

Hoping to block their way

 

One of the fears

Dabs black color

On the horizon of future

Always trying to make it bleaker

 

I love to play with my fears

I sing aloud when they whisper

I have learnt to run faster

Never letting them steal my cheer…
