A Letter from Fear

Dear Soul You've been a lovely host Comfortably I roam, in quiet quarters of silent thought and desperate hope And tear them down Listen, I've some advice for you You'll never make it, unless you take control It's no use, to ignore me I make myself known, in bitter dreams Stealing color, stealing the rest you need And like raked leaves, I'll rake your peace So don't fight, I am a part of you Confounding courage, confounding all you know and were told You will not know the truth Worry, I let her in with me Hope you don't mind two, or even three Where we go, chaos sprouts like seed You shall not love, or be loved You will not hope, or feel trust No peace for you, now or to come Question what you know and all you've done Build a kingdom, I'll hand you the bricks Gain gold and silver, serve under them You're where I want you, prisoner of your work Safe behind bars, to earn your worth A beautiful cell, locked and safe A beautiful cell, inside you waste
