Fear

There's something I want to say 
About the fear I feel inside 
It comes over all of a sudden 
And I find myself just tongue - tied. 

Anxiety is a mean old thing 
I don't like it as a friend 
There have been many times I've thought about bringing it all to an end. 

I've tried for a while to beat it
Sometimes it still keeps getting me down 
Those days I have to remember 
I am more than just my frown. 

The days go by and time goes on 
At times I feel like everything is gone 
But all is not always lost
From the dark, light sometimes shone.
