I have this fear inside me,
That claims it's here to stay.
I have this fear inside me,
That I beg, "Please go away".
There's this fear inside me,
But I don't want you to know.
There's this fear inside me,
But it's threatening to show.
Why is this fear inside me?
Because I'm getting sick of it.
Why is this fear inside me?
Because it's settled in my pit.
I hate this fear inside me,
Who keeps struggling to get free.
I hate this fear inside me.
Who will win? It or me?

The author's comments:
I hope that after reading this, people will remember that we're all afraid at one point or another, but we can't be afraid of that fear overcoming us. We need to face it and say "I'm going to win. You can't control me".
