Fear

Fear

He know how to stumble,
he know how to fall,
he take to his tumble,
he wait for the wall,
he wait for his curses,
he wait for his pain,
he think up some verses,
he write a refrain,
he catch himself crumble,
he watch himself crawl,
he be good at humble,
he pull up his pall,
he fight off his slumber,
he shake himself clear,
he call out his number,
he name his own fear,
he think up a story,
he think up a rhyme,
he wrestle with worry,
he fight for his time,
he talk to his devil,
he speak to his life,
he make himself level,
he dream of his wife,
he dream he is sorry,
he hope he was wrong,
he sing his old glory,
he sing an old song,
he twist and dissemble,
he hate what he hear,
he twitch and he tremble,
he taste his own fear,
he count out the hour,
he look to his clock,
he hide and he cower,
he fidget and rock,
he throw off his cover,
he rise up and fall,
he think of one lover,
he reach for the wall,
he take himself under,
he break himself through,
he weave and he wonder,
he false and he true,
he listen to voices,
he write what he hear,
he struggle with choices,
he know what to fear.
