What We Fear
What we fear
The things we crave the most, the things we hold most dear...
Always seem to be the things, that we really fear....
Convince ourselves we want them , make our dreams come true ....
Then sabatage our efforts , by the many things we do.....
We may not know we do this , a fear so deep inside.....
It's happiness that scares us , that causes us to hide.....
When pleasure comes a knocking , at our garden door.....
We swiftly remove the welcome mat, lying on the floor.....
When true love makes a visit , we sense it from the start....
We quickly lock the entrance key , to the gateway of our heart...
Why we always do this , no one really knows.....
Panic fills our bodies, from our head down to our toes......
We want someone to love us, yet when they come too close ......
We act like little devils , to those we want the most......
The enemy we harbor , plays havoc with our life .....
Ensures we have no happiness, but only hurtful strife....
We need to hang the traitor , who robs us of our treasure.....
Allow ourselves to love again, and bathe in sinful pleasure.....
