Trap of Fear - June 14, 2000

When you walk down the roads,
and see the path before you...
do you wonder,
why the sharp words hurt more
than the stones...
why you're lost
even if the path is straight?
why you're in a daze
even if everyone else is lucid?

When you dream aloud,
do you mention the time spent,
the people,
and the laughter?

Or do you shy away from it all...
caught in a trap of fear?
