When we all face fear

We stare it straight in the face

But don't know what to do

At times we want to cry

Other times we get angry

So many other emotions

Can tag along and enjoy the ride

You never know which ones will appear

Or exactly how they'll affect you

Each has it's own way

Of changing how you think and act

There are times you try and calm your fears

But get frustrated when you can't

The fears keep building up

Along with all those other emotions

Finally you just scream and cry

Because you can't take it any more

You are consumed by the thoughts and feelings

And are unsure how to escape

You just need to have faith

That everything will turn out alright

Squash the fears from the start

Before they squash you and consume your life
