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
