I Am Fear

Here I am, at your side

Beautiful and witty, Lovely and tantalizing

Promising sweet, sweet future

Stroking your pride and ego

All you need to do is prove yourself

A moment of truth that seemed last forever

Though it is a mere split second or so

And there, you conquered me

I am yours

All yours

Here I am at your side,

Horrendous and cruel, Ruthless and horrifying

Threatens your very own existence

Leaving you breathless and debilitated

All you need to do is master me

Ability to think straight even for a moment

Though it feels like forever or so

But there, I conquered you

I am yours

All yours

Here I am at your side

Or at least the side where I was placed

The string that pulled your limbs

Made you dance for the puppeteer

All you need to do is cut the string

Realizing you've been had

Breaking free from the one who controls you

Else I will make you dance forever

I am yours

All yours

Use me well, use me wise

For even laughter needed tears

The light needed darkness

And courage will need fear

I am Fear

And I am yours

All yours

Let me be your mistress and propel you to the stars

Allow you to turn the "I can't" into "I Can"

Get you drunk in the newfound self-confidence

And made your steps a little sturdier each time

Let me be the horrid storm that wrecked your feeling

That made you greet the calm dawn gratefully

Turns you into a believer of everything good

And made your life a little bit better every time

I am yours

All yours

Do not let me run your head or your heart

Do not give me the reign and the whip and the chain

For I am a cruel mistress that will stop at nothing

Until you lay broken and dead at my feet

And not even once will you dare to think

That you can erase me from your life

I will always be there as a part of you

In sickness or in health, till death do us part

I am yours

All yours

For every breath you take you need me

To guide you in life, to protect you in life

The little challenges that'll boost your confidence

The major deals that'll keep you alive

What would you do without me, pray?

A content human too lazy to evolve

A corpse that died because inability to feel danger

A soulless person that let their soul gone to waste

I am yours

All yours

Fear me. Love me. Hate me. Desire me.

Hold me close to your heart and embrace me tight

Kiss me and tie me and use me well

Master me and let me serve you right

For I am a faithful mistress and a generous one

Dance with me well and you shall be rewarded

With courage and strength and wit and power

Do me wrong and you are gone forever

I am yours

All yours

Take this hand and let us dance

The first of the many lasts

To doom or to salvation, who knows

I will make you dance, no matter what

For I am Fear

The daughter of darkness

The ruler of hearts

The keeper of soul

And I am yours

All yours
