The Fear Within Us Poem by Cody O'Hara

Fear is within us all
Fear exists in that dark patch of your mind

The one spoken of in whispers
Little understood

Where the boogeyman still lives
And monsters prowl the forest

The part of us where a face watches from every shadow
Where in every mirror the bloody queen lurks

A land where we get lost in the never-ending fog
You've been lost before, for haven't we all

What did you see
What dark shadows crossed your vision

Do you ever feel the biting wind, hear its howl
And remember the darkness

The mind is fragile
The court can only keep peace so long

Keep to the path, don't look back
Lest you be shattered
