I am afraid!

Those little fears

Raising their sting

With their deadly venom

Leaving me numb

Those little fears

Deep down inside

As I look below

Afraid to take the plunge

Across that little stream

Those little fears

When I look into those glowing eyes

In the dark, eerie

I stand rooted

Scared to even breathe

Those little fears

As I look into the future

Perplexed and unsure

I stand still

Not daring, afraid

Those little fears

Those little doubts

Those little blocks

From somewhere deep within

Tormenting

Those little fears

Will cease to be

When I will

When I dare

Those little fears

It’s just games they play

in my mind.
