I was standing in the darkness alone and full of fear… I was overcome with sadness as my eyes began to tear.
Fear had cast its shadow, of sorrow and despair…
Driven by a hundred forms, fear was everywhere.
Fear had paralyzed me, fear had froze me in my tracks…
I was mesmerized, demoralized, I was slipping through the cracks.
Fear was like a cyclone swirling, whirling, in my head… The fabric of our existence, an evil and corroding thread.
My self reliance failed me, so I called upon my faith… I asked my higher power to rid me of this wraith.
At once I had commenced, to feel an inner strength… The courage and the faith to go to any length
Fear was now a fancied foe who fought a futile fight… For faith had flung a fatal blow, as darkness soon returned to light.
The faith that I was seeking was with me all the way… I all but had forgotten, all I need to do is pray.
