I feel trapped... Within my fears Within my dreams Within my hope Within my insecurities Within my life Within my love Within my loneliness I can't escape these feelings They always come back I could be happy *as forever* And with a single, errant thought CRASH The warm feeling is gone Replaced by a cold, bitter being Anger replaces love Fear replaces the sense of being Hate and insecurities replace all... Over, and over... It's a cycle Happy to sad Content to anger Feeling loved to feeling cold And I wish for the cycle to stop...

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our problem isn't that we have these uncomfortable feelings we're calling fear, it's what those feelings do to us. We feel threatened by people places situations and things that are no threat to us at all, sometimes so threatened that these fears plunge us into depression. When we dream about doing things that would be pleasant or productive, fear comes in and squelches those dreams. Fear interferes with healthy relationships and causes us to imagine and react to conflict that isn't there, creating the very conflict we imagined. Fear causes us to always focus on the worst possible outcome to any situation.
