Fears
Me and my fears envelope me
A strange fear of the unknown
The unknown path of the untold
The untold path yet to unfold
The untold path of life....
Where would life lead me?
What lies in the path ahead?
Lost in the mirage of millions…
Perhaps lies shielded the purpose of this existence,
Me and my fears engulf me...
Is life just the way it is
Work and earn
For food and shelter,
A little more for luxury
More for riches and designer matter,
A crave for wealth
A crave for fame
For name, for power…
Is this all on life’s platter?
Me and my fears insinge me
Will not all this be left behind,
When this cloak of a body declines,
And there’s nothing left but ashes and cinder?
Me and my fears ensnare me…
