"Fear Within"
 
Come here my child
I heard her say.
I stood and stared
At her wrinkled face.
 
I didn't move
I was frozen in fear.
Wanting to run
Any where but here.
 
She said once more
Come here my child.
I took a step forward
While staring at her eyes.
 
I was shaking all over
From head to toe.
What does she want?
When can i go?
 
She tilted her head
Do i scare you my dear?
She looked to her left,
You have nothing to fear.
 
It was then
Before my eyes
She changed her form,
It was all a disguise.
 
I wanted to show you
How fear can consume
Every part of you
Down to the bone.
 
Remember my child,
Not all is as it seems.
There's often more
You still cannot see.
 
So always look,
But without your eyes.
Trust in your gift,
Your Natural Sight.
