Fear

Fear

is

real

Sneaky

Ice cold

Rational thoughts

Gone

Depressing mindset

All

Day

Long

What ifs

Hows

Whys

Run?

Fight?

Pray?

Zombie to my left

Fire to my right

Years of battle

Eating away at my mind

Day of undead

Seeking my flesh

If you can handle the zombie

You can handle the fire

Now go conquer your

Fear
