Childhood Fears ©
I feel the cold come through the walls
This feeling I can’t touch at all
Afraid of what
I’m letting in
Knowing to well
the pain will begin
So many memories
wash over me
So many
I can hardly see
What do they mean
where are they from
Like a child
who’s been overcome
Running through
the fields of wheat
Avoiding dark and unknown streets
Faster and faster
unable to move
Afraid there’d be nothing left to prove
Unable to hide
from the feelings within
As again the shadow closes in
I feel the cold
it’s reaching for me
From it’s icy embrace
I’ll never be free
